Everyone just seems more agreeable nowadays. We're no longer divided by petty and irrelevant differences, and instead look to what units us. And everyone is kind.

Social media. When I was a youngster it was just message boards and Facebook. Now we have Tik Tok and Snapchat. Much better.

I copied this from a school mate's Facebook page ( he was far more intellectual than me ).
In his book Austerity Britain, David Kynaston writes about the amazing changes in British society between 1945 and 1951. He begins by listing all the things that didn't exist in 1945 and some of the things that did that have thankfully disappeared.
Britain in 1945 - No supermarkets, no motorways, no tea bags, no sliced bread, no frozen food, no flavoured crisps, no lager, no microwaves, no dishwashers, no Formica, no vinyl, no CDs, no computers, no mobiles, no duvets, no Pill, no trainers, no hoodies, no Starbucks. Four Indian restaurants. Shops on every corner, pubs on every corner, cinemas in every high street, red telephone boxes, Lyons Corner Houses, trams, trolley-buses, steam trains. Woodbines, Craven 'A', Senior Service, smoke, smog, Vapex inhalant. No launderettes, no automatic washing machines, wash day every Monday, clothes boiled in a tub, scrubbed on the draining board, rinsed in the sink, put through a mangle, hung out to dry. Central heating rare, coke boilers, water geysers, the coal fire, the hearth, the home, chilblains common. Abortion illegal, homosexual relationships illegal, suicide illegal, capital punishment legal.
White faces everywhere. Back-to-backs, narrow cobbled streets, Victorian terraces, no high-rises. Arterial roads, suburban semis, the march of the pylon. Austin Sevens, Ford Eights, no seat belts, Triumph motorcycles with sidecars. A Bakelite wireless in the home, Housewives' Choice or Workers' Playtime or ITMA on the air, televisions almost unknown, no programmes to watch, the family eating together. Milk of Magnesia, Vick Vapour Rub, Friar's Balsam, Fynnon Salts, Eno's, Germolene. Suits and hats, dresses and hats, cloth caps and mufflers, no leisurewear, no 'teen-agers'. Heavy coins, heavy shoes, heavy suitcases, heavy tweed coats, heavy leather footballs, no unbearable lightness of being. Meat rationed, butter rationed, lard rationed, margarine rationed, sugar rationed, tea rationed, cheese rationed, jam rationed, eggs rationed, sweets rationed, soap rationed, clothes rationed. Make do and mend.

Sooooooooooo much has improved, but No.1 for me - healthcare.

Technological improvements have really helped. When I was a child my grandfather had to have his gallbladder removed - it was a major operation and he was in the hospital for several weeks. A couple of years ago I too had to have my gallbladder removed. This was done by keyhole surgery and I walked out of the hospital the same day.
