But it isn't a myth entirely, but rather is driven by specificity in terms of end market. 

You aren't actually disputing that it's a myth.  Just trying to distract with other things.  Namely...

"Things aren't getting worse because cell phones" has nothing to do with college continually becoming out of reach financially.

Government interference and the bloating of the bureaucracy on campus are causing that issue.

College is an area where we need more capitalism injected into the system, not less.  There's absolutely no reason why college shouldn't be getting cheaper as more people join as it would in practically any other market.

Same goes for medical expenses.

Too complex to even begin to untangle in a thread where people can't even get the point of a video without immediately rushing off to a separate subject.

However, medicine is also improving with each passing year as well.

People having cell phones has nothing to do with the income gap increasing exponentially.

Pfft, the income gap is the most childish complaint of all.  "Someone else has something and therefore I must be deprived."

Wanting to improve those areas isn't a bad idea, because "cell phones."

Again, not the point of the video.

Additionally, and this is what makes the video beyond stupid, the same "logic" can be applied to China.  China's general population has more technology in the home today when compared to 100 years ago.  Proof communism works, am I right???

Really man?  You're going to use the economic basket case that was communist China?  An economy that couldn't even figure out how to farm?

Communist China was an abject failure.  They're communist in name only these days and are really a state capitalist economy.

Technology is one aspect of "being better off" and cannot be used to extrapolate to a completely unrelated metric.  That is like me performing a biologic survey, I count the number of birds and conclude the reptiles are healthy....

That is literally what you've done this entire post.

Your entire post in shockingly inaccurate and objectively wrong on all accounts.  Never thought it was possible to have so many errors in a single post.
