I'm guessing you're an engineer?
Life certainly isn't amazing for people in society at large. There are people on the other side of the code we're producing. Something us engineers love to forget about.

Also, society looked very different back then. Women´s work force participation alone renders any comparison between the two ages rather difficult to make to begin with so assuming right off the bat that the 1950s were better (while disregarding all the advancements in medicine, etc.) is unfair at best.
note: I understand that you said "possibly" but this is a claim that I hear rather often and I don´t know how people can actually make that comparison so easily.
What is he referring to exactly though when he says it's better?
