You think that also was true around 1360 when the 2nd bubonic plague in Europe was over after having caused the death of 1/3 of the population?
 
But in general a true statement ... I think ... though I still fondly remember the days way back when I spent my vacations in the countryside at my grandma's house. Water from a well, cooking on a wood stove, no TV, no telephone, getting milk from the farmer down the street straight from the cow, early morning radio listening to messages for colombophiles as that would be the indication for the weather, watching the altitude at which the swallows flew to determine if rain was on its way ... the simple uncomplicated life. If you were not selected in a team during a game ... live with it ... if the coffee was too hot, blow to cool it, going fishing with just a line, a stick and a worm, no hook ... fish were so gullible they'd choke on it.
 
Now there's an app for everything.
