Mostly yes, but I imagine in some respects no:

- Car, noise, light and general pollution. - Access to space and land. - Privacy & and in some respects freedom.

In lots of respects our life's are more comfortable, but I don't think having an iPhone makes up for having a generation that'll never get on the housing market in the UK for example.
