Given that you did not state the type of polarization you had in mind, I'll help as much as I can.

Social polarization

This has to do with the segregation in a society where there are wide gaps in income, fluctuations in real estate and social group differentiation.

Political polarization

This has to do with the indidivual values which a person has about certain issues that reflects his affiliation to a political party.

In both instances, it appears that there is worse social polarization now than before due to the Technological age, and in political polarization, I'm not sure if there's a tangible difference between the past and now.
