Was life better in the early 2000s?

The world is getting worse and better at the same time. But now I think we’re stuck and not progressing much. In the early 2000s technology was far behind, we’ve made advancements in the health and technology field, which is good, as it saves lives. Human relationships are getting worse though and I think we’re leaning towards a more asocial world. The sense of community is getting lost, and people are too self-centered and obsessed with themselves to care.
