100 years ago, would you need tennis balls? Shaving cream? Pizza rolls? Pens?

That's my point. The gadgets and greebles in your life are different, but the gadgets and greebles do not materially impact your life. Now, if we were talking contact lenses or insulin there'd be an argument. At the same time, 100 years ago there was a lot less myopia and diabetes.

This whole thread is desperately lacking perspective.
