Older times better?

Why do we always refer to the older times as better? Does it only get worse by the day?
Or have we stopped relishing those small-little things that mattered so much to us not too long ago?

Then: There was this popular wednesday night TV show called chitrahaar, for which we would wait for the whole week. And the show was always houseful ;-)
Now: There are hundreds of music channels airing all genre of music videos 365/24/7. But does it match Chitrahaar? Naahh....

Then: Back in early 90's a phone call was a luxury. Every moment on-phone felt special and personal.
Now: Call me after half-an-hour, I'm in a meeting!! OR Sorry I'm not interested in your credit cards!!

Then: School friends write a shared letter. Every nook and corner of it had a message.
Now: We rarely get to meet :-(

Then: A new stamp on the mail received is missing from my collection, Hurrah! I've a new one.
Now: Mail = e-mail.
