Comparing this time with others!

1970s changes! Do we remember that era as a shock? Was the mindset that different? Computer and calculator costs were astronomically high in comparison to to-day’s, but were the lives then less disoriented or do we have to go back a hundred years to truly find “another” kind of life? And what is this change good for? Do we truly communicate better? Is the world better off from an identity and social point of view? Or are we talking nano-differences? If not, then we ought to be able to point to pros and cons. Did “they” know each other better then? Is society truly better off now? Or is it all a matter of gaining some and losing elsewhere? Can we and the younger generations imagine NOT to have (you name the object or item!)? Can we appreciate what we have by realizing what it took to get "here"? Taking "all" for granted is a dangerous trend and almost inescapable. Or is it?
