It is an awesome time to be alive, but I do wish we'd start doing more interesting stuff with our technology than simply streamlining the ability to buy stuff. Convenience is wonderful, and I make use of lots of modern technological improvements in that regard, but I'm skeptical as to whether any of it has really made a measurable improvement on my standard of living.
