Is that really true? I think life has become infinitely more convenient over the last few decades.

One can now order everything over the internet and not even leave the house. SO many errands that cost tons of time involved leaving the house and getting this or that. This is now all reduced to minutes on the phone or computer and the items will magically appear in front of your door.

Same with information search. Having the internet, google maps, etc. has made everything so much easier than it used to be in the 80s or 90s.
