Whenever we discuss life in general, people have a tendency to talk about the "good old days". This is a period of time in the past when life was good, things were easy, we were all relatively comfortable and happy and pure. But no such time has ever existed. Just ask anyone who has lived through it. There has always been conflict, corruption, poverty, bloodshed, immorality, and all the other problems we face today. We are just more aware of it now. Truth is life has always sucked and it will always suck to some extent. Even when we evolve to the point where you can download your consciousness into an indestructible android and effectively achieve immortality, life will still suck one way or another.
Perhaps there are aspects of the past that are better than what we have today, just as there are countless things in the modern world that are far superior to what our ancestors had. But overall, life has improved for mankind. We now live longer and know much more about our planet and ourselves than our ancestors. We can access vast amounts of information in seconds, we have cured many illnesses and developed treatments for others, we've been to outer space. The human race has come a long way in a relatively short time.
Now for some vintage pics.
