No, it doesn't prove anything. To be brutally honest, I have just eaten a meal, and have 30 minutes of relax time. Then I'll close this 10 year old laptop and continue what I need to do.
No, my parents had that. Instead, they were chatting on the phone. My grandparents already had that too. They just chatted at the hall in front of the house with their neighbors.
We don't have time. We are just deluding ourselves. While our lives are technologically better, and we live longer, our lives are not objectively healthier and happier.
Heck, my colleagues join teleconferences from home with their kid's voice at the background and drying clothes visible, only hidden by the Gaussian blur or fake background provided by the software.
How they have more time to do more things? They still work 8 hours a day, doing the occasional overtime.
Things have changed and evolved, but evolution and change doesn't always bring progress. We have progressed in other areas, but justice, life conditions and wealth are not in this list. I certainly can't buy a house just because I want one like my grandparents did, for example.
