I quite share your thoughts friend, however in our present world when you look back at the past years you'll realize that hat things were quite better than our present world, except of course with technology.
Life was far better those days - the good old days - than now. Alot of adulteration and substandard products just to carter for the teaming population. High end crimes that were hitherto unknown are now the order of the day. People were more humane before than now. Everyone is trying to make ends meet unlike before.
The only bright side in our today's world are the innovations brought by technology which of course come with numerous problems too. So yes, I also join the bandwagon of the sayers of "the good old days"!
Enjoy your weekend friend. !BBH
