I kind of like modern days personally.

I think most people would agree if they actually had to go back to older times. Just nostalgia.

I remember a lot of late nights with nobody up, nothing to do, nothing on the TV because it was either infomercials, religious, or off the air. No books I hadn't read yet. No music but the same crap getting played over and over on the radio. It was awful.

Seems like back then you didn't have anything to do, now we're overwhelmed with responsibilities. I think what people remember best is the short period of balance in between, while only focusing on the negatives of today and forgetting about those of the past.
