While you can debate if "the good ol days" were better...innovation has completely changed the would multiple times in the last 30-40 years. We are likely in the most innovative time in human history and not just for multiple hot sauce flavors.
You are saying you have little access to these innovations, on the Fediverse, probably wirelessly on a touch screen? The world was extremely different 30 years ago, but the slow transition may have made it not so easy to notice.
Cell phones, and not anything close to the modern type, are only 50 years old. Internets closer to 30... Social media/Fediverse is a little more than 20...
Also, if you think people weren't working to survive before modern day, I recommend you learning a little more about history. We are generally in some of the easiest living times, even if it feels the hardest. Everyone's stories different though, so your time could be harder than thousands of years of people before you so I'm not trying to take away... but just speaking in generalities.
But 100% agree we should be focusing on the planets health.
