IYO, has the world gotten better compared to before?

For example, today, we have very convenient and nice things like cars, cell phones, electricity, etc. However, along with those things, we have things like serious pollution, deforestation, the threat of a nuclear holocaust, and other things. IMO, I think we gained and lost things when we advanced technology. What do you guys think?

if i could live during any time period it would be the age of piracy. arrggghh.JPOBS

well considering all the colonialism and slavery then im coo nowweezyfb

No the world has not gotten better. The world is functioning as intended. There is ultimately no such thing as better or worst. Only humans who like to think there is.

It is progressing and advancing but saying that it's gotten better is subjective. cyberdarkkid

increase tech= decrease morals...= bad for the world no matter the gains if people are morally corrupt is does not matter the scientific gains. every generation seems worse than the one before...i grew up in the 90's i thought we were bad,...but then i look at kids today and just shake my head (man i getting old)

[QUOTE="JPOBS"][QUOTE="hydralisk86"] But pirates were considered criminals, and I suspect that you could get severely punished if you were one and were caught. Also, their ship technology was very primitive, therefore, and made being a pirate dangerous, and probably because of the lack of women on board, they did stuff that I would get banned for mentioning. hydralisk86

We have gained so much with technology and machines but with that we (the american people) have lost our will to do physical labor and actually work for what we have. I am the only person from my graduating class that actually does manual labor for a living.

Yeah, in some ways.

todays world is stagnating, there are no new inventions on evolution of old technology example:mobile phones are just improved examples of cordless phone which in turn are improved examples of the standard phone which has been around for like 80 years, the same can be said for tvs, computers, cars etc, i personally would wanted to have lived during my pa's era (1930-1950)

Today's world is anything BUT stagnating.

You have that COMPLETELY backwards.

Honestly...and unfortunatly....Humans have the ability to think and convince other people of "stuff". I believe my race should not have been given this. People...are...retarded. There is no good and evil. Only "People" "Problems".

You just listed them off.

Life is definitely easier now for sure thanks to technology. Whether or not the world is a better place now when compared to the past is highly subjective...

[QUOTE="Phoenix6359"]give me an example then

No, these inventions are not old at all, in fact, they are very recent.

Old inventions would be, the chariot and sword, and if you want to go beyond that, writing.

And even beyond that, houses and clothing. And there are inventions even older than that.

if u mean tvs' cars, computers, these are all quite old inventions, the basic car design hasn't changed, tv's are the same except for being bigger and having improved definition, computers are the same except they are more powerful, if u look at the last 20 years NOTHING new has been invented just improved

I mean, unless you're talking about this.

The shamwow is moving the world in a whole new direction.
