But these things are obvious, as are any others that might be added to that list to change it from brief to complete.

And I might very well concede with washing machines and quality of clothing (excluding made in China). But I do not concede on the point of digital technology.

Life is no more fulfilling than it was in the days of having twelve children, and people are probably less content. This is the real measure of quality of life.

Digital electronics is essential to many of the things on my list. If you restricted your scope to texting, Twitter, Youtube, and so on, I'd agree with you.

1 - The medical equipment that helps us survive hospital stays is all digital.
2 - Communicating anywhere in the world upon a whim is all digital.
3 - Instant access to information is all digital.
4 - The remarkable fuel efficiency of today's vehicles is all digital.
5 - GPS navigation is all digital.
6 - Crystal clear media presentation is all digital.
7 - Precision CNC machining is all digital.
8 - 3D printing is all digital.
9 - Incredibly wonderful engineering drawing packages are all digital.
10- Remarkably versatile image post-processing is all digital.
11- Learning about our solar system, and far reaches of space is all digital.

This list also goes on for a long long time.

The only negatives I see are people using text when they aught to sit down with each other and converse and the often false information they absorb from YouTube. But, these aren't the fault of the digital technologies, these are the faults of users.
