The point is, just because we have reddit and facebook now doesn't mean we're all just so much better off. The contribution of those products to our lives is rather trivial. Even the internet, while it's very impressive and useful and interesting, has not made everyone in our generation better off. It's cool to have but like I said, my parents and grandparents were fine without it. In fact they were probably more fine than many of technologically most advanced people on this forum.

Facebook, Twitter, reddit are still trivial.

I'm not doing SO MUCH BETTER than my parents because I have those things and they didn't.

The internet isn't trivial but I wouldn't say that my life is SO MUCH BETTER because I have internet. My parents did great without internet.
