I wonder how the results would differ if the Milgram experiment was repeated today.

Heh, it really wasn't an experiment at all, and when actual scientists tried to reproduce his results, they couldn't:

In 2012 Australian psychologist Gina Perry investigated Milgram's data and writings and concluded that Milgram had manipulated the results, and that there was a "troubling mismatch between (published) descriptions of the experiment and evidence of what actually transpired." She wrote that "only half of the people who undertook the experiment fully believed it was real and of those, 66% disobeyed the experimenter".

Hopefully that gives you a little more hope in humanity [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
