some was better. some was worse. Mostly there are small differences.
Computers, cell phones, iPods are a big difference.
AIDS had started, but nobody understood why people were dying, there were no drugs to treat it.
NO company or person had an automated voice mail system that kept you from talking to a human being.
Medicine has advanced a lot. Heart transplants and liver transplants were possible but still risky. Brain surgery was still likely to result in death within a year. Very few drugs to control depression. None for panic. No miniature cameras to let doctors see inside the body.
The world was less scary in some ways, more scary in other ways.
I think people were more hopeful in the 1980s.

Much better back then, all we had to worry about was Reagan and Gorby, the Northern Ireland trouble and thats about it,, everyone else made a fortune and wore mad shirts, the quattro was released by Audi and life was good.Then we had the acid house scene,, which was nice ;-)
Of cousre there was famine and all that stuff, but that was always gonna be there coz the powers that be, could,but wouldn't do anything about it. So they left it down to good old Bob, who sang for it.

80s were better because there were fewer people and less traffic. And homes were more affordable. I remember my dad paying $130K for a fixer upper home in a nice neighborhood. It's now worth $500K!!!!!!!

Many things have changed. I don't think it is a matter of being necessarily better just different.
