Is modern life "always" better than it is in the past?

 To me, modern life is not always better than the way things were in the past. Many things that happen in the past were great times, but we had to move on. A lot of people say that they liked their lives better when they were younger, which it is usually always easier when you are little. In other times, when it comes to politics or economy, the past could have been much better. Since we are just getting over a recession now, before that recession we had a time of growth and wealth in our world. People were wealthier and had more money. During and after the recession, people didn’t want to spend their money because they didn’t know whether or not they would need it after they would possibly get laid off. In politics, presidents have been shot and killed. Many of these presidents that were assassinated were liked by many people and had full lives ahead of them. They could’ve been doing very well in their presidency and helping our countries out with the economy or other things. Then they were gone. So I believe the response to this question is no, modern life is not always better than the past. Some people even think the other way around.
