Things like cars and electronics are immeasurably better than they used to be, and in real terms, way cheaper. I remember reading somewhere that for the first decade or so of colour televisions, tellies had to be repaired, on average, once a year. Every winter morning when I was a kid you could hear the cars outside trying to start: rrrrrrrr......rrrrrrrrrr.......rrrrrrrrrr.........rrrrrrrrrrr. When's the last time you heard that sound? Overall, without wanting to tempt fate, I'd say things are on the whole way less crap than they used to be. Now services on the other hand...
