I don't like the advertisement in the title.

Everything was slower back then, you couldn't even buy a game, then pay and receive it right away from a country 6000km away. You also couldn't travel to a country 6000km away in 6-7 hours. You also couldn't buy and sell shares of a company 20 times within one single second, or rather, have a machine do that for you...
And the water you drank and the fish you ate back then didn't contain as much plastic either.
We have become so much faster at destroying things by now, just ask Hiroshima and Nagasaki or the cellphone someone replaced for a newer model after a year.
On the bright side, our GDP is also much larger than that of the Romans and we take better care of the unmployed and (most of) our slaves.
