Ok, how about the fact that we've halved extreme poverty since the 1990? Or the worldwide increase of life expectancy (Africa's average almost reached 55 this year)? AIDS and malaria are both in decline. And apparently we accomplished the decade with least deaths in war in the last century. I don't know if i would call this a golden age, but we are seeing improvements in more than technology.

>> AIDS and malaria are both in decline. Not only AIDS is on decline, but also, two people has been "cure" of AIDS since the "german patient" in 2007. The average life expectancy of HIV+ people has triple since the 80s. Still a long way to go, but I hope to see AIDS at least as a just another chronic disease.
