The issue is that "better" is subjective and the subjects are shaped by the environment they grow up in.

Most people thus naturally prefer the world as it was during their formative years.

Is it just that? I see people praising not being reachable 24/7 by phone, but I don't see many people praising calling all the places your friend might be to guess where they are. I see people praising a world without Facebook but I don't see anyone praising a world without Wikipedia. It seems to be a rather selective effect.
