answer:
[opinion] lots of people today, i'd say even the better portion of humanity, is suited better for the conveniences/environment of the modern day.
i like having running water and electricity and heck, asphalt. i like living in a modern city.
however, i know people are all different. some hate technology and progression, or it just doesn't float their boat or whatever. maybe they like that. it's their right.
that's the emotional bit.
however, technology has allowed us to heal much quicker and tolerate much more. imagine getting cancer in 1000bc. there's no hope. you'd die.
contrary, of course is pollution and the void of modern problems.
and of course, there are still societies whose customs haven't changed since 1000bc.
