alt Hacker NewsI judge it in the aggregate. Overall, we have higher standard of living than people 30 years ago.

If you judge on aggregate then "Every great technology developed to date has been a net positive" is nonsense.
You cannot judge aggregate positively and conclude that therefore each segment was positive.

No. We do not. So many people are nostalgic about 30 years where you could afford basic things on minimum wage for a reason.
30 years ago was the 90’s, when just about everything peaked.
The things I’d be truly missing from today 30 years ago, would be the advances in medicine really and the fact that we don’t have the ozone layer threat.
Most other things have peaked back then. Rising kids was definitely easier, and healthier.
