Those things don't depend on technology, rather population.. I think it has gotten worse, but the decadence is so glamourising people don't see past the theatre stage and behind the curtain.

Technology is actually a massive factor in plentiful food and prosperity. If population alone were adequate, Africa wouldn't have regular famines.
