While I do love my computer - I can spend whole days solving how quilts were made & block sizes etc, along with playing a few simple games - I have long complained that progress is not necessarily a good thing, and often believe it would be nice to go back to the old days. Country life was good & even in the cities not so many people, cars, crime, & life was slower. Now we get scammed whichever way we look, and 'though my embroidery machines don't connect to the internet I am surprised no one has attached a virus of some sort to the designs we download.
Much of these problems weren't thought of back in the 40s, they've all developed with 'progress'
