Illusion of human progress?

Do you think after so many years of human existence, life has been better?
Does fast internet, cars and iphones make life so much better?
Do we humans progress and if yes do you make more money than your dad used to make?
We all spend hours on the internet but I can't remember anyone missing it before we did.
Are people more loving than they used to be?
Do I really need 3 facebook accounts to be happy and all mentioned above or people nowadays arent more happy and satisfied than that man that used to wake up fish work on his farm and smoke offline with his friends after work?
We seem to progress but we have more problems and maybe missing the meaning of life.
Any thoughts?

It seems that there's true progress on some things like medicine while on other things there isn't much.
So depends on the time to go back lets say the 70s were a better time to me since there werent meth epidemics, unsociallized people on the internet all day, slaves or wars but if you go further back it would be really horrible to live at a time when there was (example: no electricity)

OK, are you going to volunteer to go back to the time when millions of Americans were slaves, when lots of women died in childbirth, when anaesthetics and antibiotics were unknown, when nobody knew what caused dozens of deadly diseases? Yeah, I didn't think so.

You're mistaking "human progress" with things people invented. Yes, fast internet and cars increase the quality of life. It's how people choose to spend their time and use those things that holds them back. In that case, I agree with you. The blame is not on technology itself.

No.
They have, simply, raised the standard of living along with laziness.

Progress would have us all in a state of bliss, therefore progress has not occurred, merely procrastination

The entire goal of progress and invention is to make things easier, and more pleasant… However what we're working towards is exactly what we're afraid of and don't want… Something similar to "The matrix" where all you do is enjoy and feel constant bliss, with no risks, no danger. And no reality. The illusion is that it's possible to be in a constant state of happy euphoria. Like any drug.to maintain its level of effect the dosage must be increased at regular intervals-can the human brain remain in a constant state of bliss indefinitely? Will it reject it or is it that there's only a certain level of pleasure the brain can handle without being damaged? To reach the maximum high-would then result in the ultimate low because it can't be maintained (as far as we know).
