What's good about modern society?

I've been kinda sad lately because I hate this time. I wish I was born around 100 years ago even though technologies wasn't good then. Im only happy when i see good movies about the past like Lincoln or Les Miserables, those were awesome! The culture and class is dumbing down, well at least that's what I think. I know there's good things happening in the 21st century, I just don't know what they are, so can you please tell me some good classy stuff that's happening because right now I'm blinded by the trash that i think modern society is and can't seem to see past it. I know my question might sound confusing... Sorry it's a bit hard to explain...

    People are a product of their environment, and if they are not taught what is right from wrong, then that is where the problem starts, at home.

    There still is culture and class and you just have to know where to go to find it.

    I do admit that society has somewhat taken a turn for the worst.

    Noone hardly ever compliments anyone else on a job well done, because of their own narcisstic nature, and every feels they do not have to say "Im sorry", if they hurt someone also.

    There is chaos amongst family members, and mostly over money, which truly is the root of all evil.

    Just look at all those court shows, every case concerns money, and children are suing parents and vice-versa.

    I kinda like the older movies where women dressed like women and not look like a hooker, but if I were to tell anyone that, they would call me a prude, when in all reality, I am a lady, and I dress and act like one. I respect myself and my body and I do not feel I have to show it to the world.

    All the modern technology has reduced the children to sitting for hours playing on the puter or i pad, instead of running outside and playing, and their energy level is in the toilet because they hurt when they do play.
