I'm sure it was more exciting to have lived through that era; a more simplistic one with fewer things to be distracted by.
If however, one could simultaneously experience both eras at the same time, this one would be more exciting. Cars driving themselves? That's some whacky sci-fi concept. Bulletproof trucks. Vehicles that can crab-steer out of tight spots. Voice commanded navigation. Interactive touch-screen controls. Adaptive cruise control. "Pet mode".
Not being excited is a result of having adapted to so many amazing things surrounding us that we don't see anything amazing at all. Everything was better back when everything was worse.
