We see a lot of earthquakes happening now, so have they been increasing?

Not according to this, but it only starts from 2000 so longer term trends will not be visible. Maybe you can find records dating back further.

 

But before thinking there is an increase we should consider: increased global reporting, better detection methods extending to remote areas and increased population density (i.e. more earthquakes pertinent to humans).

Of course - detection methods better, reporting of them better, so hard to tell.

 

In my own experience, as anecdotal evidence ;-), I experienced none what so ever for more than the first 30 years of my life, but have lived through 2 as an adult!. I wouldn't draw too many conclusions from my experience though! :-D
