While I feel this quote now applies to me, I also think it’s bias mostly.
There were tons of stupid things invented in my childhood, but we only kept the „good“ ones around.
Similarly old stuff seems antiquated because we found better new solutions in many cases.
And the majority of new inventions is unnecessary, we'll see in a decade or so which ones are gonna stick

And there are many biases at play, like the recency bias, where the current events seem more impactful than the past events, or the survivorship bias of the old refrigerator of grandma, chugging along all these years, they don't make stuff like this anymore. And the funny thing is that despite bias, there is good information in the experiences as well, because things really do change over time, and certain things really do have certain upsides, which were lost when the thing changed.
