But "quality of life" is also changing. Per his argument, the people with color tv's had a better quality of life than the ones with just black and white sets. Well today, the ones with HD flat screens have better quality of life vs just old picture tube color tv sets.
You just can't use technology as "proof" of anything except it is always getting better, the newest stuff is super expensive and the stuff thats been out for 10-15 years becomes dirt cheap.
