What a wonderful writing style you have! Nostalgia can be glorious, and we must not forget the past nor forget the uniqueness and the genius of every generation. We will soon have data centers in space and nuclear energy on the moon. While America builds a golden dome, China dreams of a space future.

This piece reminded me of Disney's Carousel of Progress. It's such a saccharine vision that never mentions all the horrors that technological advancement brings with it, like mutually assured nuclear destruction. But on the bright side, we do have refrigerators that connect to the internet now.
