answer:Um. No? Do you think the world was a better place before TV and the Internet? Racism and misogyny were widespread; most people were poorly educated and had no access to knowledge. Even military expertise (precision, at least) has made the world a better place. Look at the casualty counts of modern wars. World War 2 destroyed pretty much all of Europe and killed tens of millions of innocent people. Vietnam killed 3 million civilians. In Iraq, perhaps 30,000 civilians have been killed by direct military action, and the number is even lower in Afghanistan. There are also far less regional wars fought today than in times past. The world was basically in a state of constant warfare up until the late 1900’s.
