You don't know a world without them so you actually have no idea if they have made your life compared to that world much better or much worse. How your life was at the time is irrelevant.

Why would I say something is better without a point of comparison?

I was born in the 90s. So definitely alive before YouTube and Spotify albeit as a teenager rather than an adult. I guess you're right I'm not familiar with the world of Sony Walkman, Blockbuster, and IBM PC. But I definitely remember dial-up modems, CDs, Windows 95 and XP. Technology has improved most aspect of my life better since then. (maybe minus all the ads + dopamine slot machines part...)

This is a vacuous statement. You can say the same thing about electricity, or antibiotics, or any other modern advancement.

[soheil]

That's kinda the point. That type of reasoning is vacuous.

There are millions of great arguments why antibiotics made the world a better place, I'm yet to hear one of YT.
