Is life getting worse?

No.

Life is actually getting better every year. Every year technology advances isa year that our lives become better. It is very easy to complain about how bad you have it from a heated home up in New England in the dead of winter. In reality, your ancestors would have killed for half of the modern conveniences that we have today. I cringe when someone complains about modern conveniences from an air conditioned house in Florida too, for the record.

It's also sad/interesting to me when religious people complain about the immorality of the world. Every single generation thought that changes in technology would bring about end times. When the automobile was first announced, the preacher Billy Sunday thought it would be the of the world. When the telephone was created, the same thing happened. Computers are no different and now people bitch about "those damn millennials and their cell phones". I can't wait to see what millennials will complain about when they get older.
