Not just raw sensory inputs are different, the probability distributions behind those inputs are all different.
Consider sugars in food. Our taste buds, and instincts behind them, are totally not handling the amount of signals modern processed foods send. What used to be a proxy for quality is now usually a good proxy for lack of it.
Consider availability heuristic. In the ancient past, all events you've learned about from someone else were involving your local community. The frequency of those "news" were related to how important those events are to you personally. Today, it's the inverse - the more something is in the news, the more it's utterly irrelevant to you personally. The real dangers don't have novelty factor, so they aren't talked about. The result is people afraid of terrorists - with all the disastrous consequences when that fear is expressed as public policy - instead of car accidents. The result is FOMO. The result is people feeling inadequate because world's top 1% of celebrities is more familiar to them than their neighbours, so they've lost the perception of actual distribution of wealth and beauty in a population.
