Few improvements to life have come in the past 50 or 60 years.

Transportation is worse.

Food is less nutritious, and full of harmful additives.

Obesity is epidemic.

Illegal drugs are killing hundreds of thousands.

A psychotic desire for gender mutilation has insidiously appeared on the scene.

Educational achievement has tumbled 40 rank levels.

Disease and medical disorders have outstripped cures. We now treat symptoms with expensive, nauseatingly, offensively advertised drugs with dreadful side effects, including sudden death.

Internet has brought as many or more problems than benefits. Crime, viruses, ransomware, theft, rage, alienation.

Inflation has caused major financial problems for millions. Homes and medical care are unaffordable for millions.

Government, having spent like a drunk sailor and run up massive and unsustainable debt, has worn out its welcome and usefulness, and is now a ~~monkey~~ gorilla on our backs.

Perhaps PCs, Word Processors, Excel, some specific apps, and cell phones are the only welcome additions, but Windows is a problematic beast which feeds on itself like cancer, and taketh away that which Intel, AMD and Nvidia provideth.

Hardly anything else is new or mentionworthy.

YMMV

The Knack - My Sharona

THE WHO, I'm a Boy. 1966.

Gender confusion is not a new issue. This song is from 1966.

One girl was called Jean Marie
Another little girl was called Felicity
Another little girl was Sally Joy
The other was me, and I'm a boy
My name is Bill, and I'm a head case
They practice making up on my face
Yeah, I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear
Spend evenings taking hairpins from my hair
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am, I get it
Put your frock on, Jean Marie
Plait your hair, Felicity
Paint your nails, little Sally Joy
Put this wig on, little boy
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am, I get it
Wanna play cricket on the green
Ride my bike across the street
Cut myself and see my blood
Wanna come home all covered in mud
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am, I get it

Maybe a Smidgen of Gender Confusion back then, but no Gender Mutilation of Minors.

Huge difference.
