I feel like my birth year of 1998 is quite good since I got to experience the internet from the get go when it was better, wasn't a kid when social media fully took off and became ubiquitous and didn't get my first smartphone till I was 15. Just a decade or so later and I could've been an iPad baby with me broadcasting my vulnerable moments for the world to see.

This depends on the country really. For the developing world things are absolutely better compared to 20 years ago but for the developed world it's a lot more nuanced. Like for the UK there's a strong argument that life was better for the average person back in 2000-2006 compared to this decade so far.
