Should also keep in mind that things being "Better or worse" is based on the assumption that we all want the same things.
I have a feeling that my young nieces will grow up in a world that is far more focused on on environmental and socio-political factors as a measure of success/quality of life. If that's the case (and I hope it is), that generation will likely see itself as having far surpassed its predecessors.
