The world belongs to the next group as we enjoy the fruits of our labor. They will not ruin the world (as our grandparents thought we would).

There are things about today's modern world that are superior to our grandparents' day. Like getting an item delivered from Amazon in one or two days. Also, better movies and MORE of them, costing less per movie. And a lot of other things.
.......BUT, there were superior things about our grandparents' day also. Fewer murders for one. Healthier meals on average with more home cooking. The average middle-class home could get by and live well on just one person's wages. Global Warming did NOT exist. Animal species were NOT going extinct at today's rate. And there were NO dark websites. There was a VERY LARGE middle class and NO worldwide Pandemics. College was affordable. CEOs made ONLY about 15 times their average line employee. And, of course, my personal favorite, there was a PROGRESSIVE tax system where the uber-rich did not dominate the system.
.......So, some things were better and some things were worse.
