Some people say 'life was better in the good old days', but what is actually better now then it was in the good old days?

A guy commenting on a Newspaper article said: internet has ruined our relationships, but hey it also brought us Google Maps.

When some oldster says that, I ask them about the hours their parents were working, how many of the parents of their friends lived to retire, how many of their classmates dropped out of school, and so on.
I've had several say something like: "I wasn't talking about that stuff".
To which I reply with a comment about "selective memory" or "circumstantial amnesia".

For me the good old days were in 90's. I used to be able to use internet 3 hours every other day due phone bill. Once I had internet at all. Yeah, that's improved a bit.
