I’m not yet in my 40s but can postulate that the 90s was not simpler from a tech perspective let me explain. 1. Today we have google in the 90s we had mailing lists . It is much easier to use google than it is to construct a well thought out question. 2. At the start of the 90s we had very little access to mobile phones. We had no uber. Imagine landing at an airport and having to use a pay phone- or calling collect. This is much more complex and difficult then what you can do today with a smart phone. 3. Say you wanted to build a website. There was no simple answer or Ruby on Rails to make give you a right way to approach it. You had to figure it out without google. For reference lookup corba. Software engineering was definitely not simpler
