I'm not sure I understand, those stories don't seem to bolster your point - a few of them are one-time events (Steve Jobs' death), and most of them are still ongoing concerns - hackers, facebook, etc. I probably agree that 5 years is a long time in tech, but some variation on almost all those stories could easily be published today.

In that vein, World War 2 was merely a variation on the Roman invasion of Gaul. The reason I linked to the article is that things which are commonplace and obvious today - a multitude of cheap Android-powered tablets, social media being used to facilitate political action - were newsworthy just five years ago.
