For the developed world, things are better than they've ever been. It's such a shame that the media and Government would have us think that the world is going to shit and that it's "time we do something", amirite?

The world is developed. America is. Look at parts of Europe.

What about South America, most of Africa, some of Asia, and some of Europe? The world is not totally developed. There //are// a lot of places still doing really badly.

If you look at technology and convenience, then yes. But you still have to ask what better is. A person used to be able to do odd jobs and survive pretty easily when unemployed, and just wake up one day and decide to be self-employed, but now you need a permit or licence for every damned thing. Sometimes I think people would be happier in a world where only survival (medicine and anti-animal weapons) and plumbing-related things were advanced and everything else left at a fantasy game kind of level.
