Tough to say. I have access to more technology and resources than my entire family tree before me.

I can buy a bunch of Aliexpress electronics, print a body, write some code, and have a completely custom automated machine to do any task I can think of.

But I am also in more debt than my entire family tree just to live in a townhouse next to a high school and freight railway.

    Ah, but if those things had never been invented then you wouldn't be missing them!

    That's why I've always considered it a fallacy when people point out the modern standards of living to say the past wasn't better. Comfort and convenience aren't major indicators of quality of life in my opinion.

    Leisure time, stress levels, and social integration are more important. And most of those things were drastically better prior to the industrial revolution.
