Were you happier in the pre-internet era?

I am wondering if the pre internet era was a better time to live in.

Because nowadays friends and family seem to have less attention and care for one another.
It also seems to me that people are less passionate and i rarely see people with sparks in their eyes anymore.
This makes me wondering if these times are better or not.
And if not, do we have to do something about it?

Is this just me?
Am i nostalgic and exaggerating?
Am i living in the wrong environment?

Please let me know your thoughts on this!

    Mar 19 2013: What i see good about Internet is that is a great tool for collaborative work on vast areas and also for news if are not too bad or not just bad news. This tool Internet like any other media tools is good if it is used by good intentioned people and not to manipulate and should be watched by mature people that should not censor it but comment on the information and make it available to someone based on age and good bad votes of all other people. I started to work on this kind of tool but need people to cooperate for it. http://www.dacicop.ro
