I’m a millennial and think I got the perfect moment in history, school was only school no computers and MSN etc until highschool. There was no mobile phones until then too. (I mean for kids)
Consoles were still multilayer locally and there was no social media.
But we still had all the conveniences of modern life now apart from instant food delivery and streaming
I think over the last 80 years, sure. Start going further back and you’re answer likely changes.
Show me a period in American history when there wasn’t an even split between progress and atrocity.
