When I was a kid we had vinyl records. And then there were cassette tapes. And then there were CDs. And then there was streaming. And now we're back to vinyl (and cassettes, too, apparently). Sure, there have been medical advances, but often times it's the insurance companies that limit their use because they won't pay. Cars: generally better. They generally last longer than they did in the 70s and get better mileage, but some of that is negated by them being much larger than they were 30 years ago - ie we could have even more efficient vehicles if they were sized like they were in the 90s. Also, I think peak reliability was probably in the 90s, especially Japanese cars from that era (I still drive a late 90s Honda - it's very simple compared to more recent models which means it's cheap to fix and there's less to go wrong). We do have a better selection of tastier apples now, so there's that. And no, I don't think social media has improved anything.
