Things are significantly better
I hope you mean more advanced, more variety...
Because, goods are not significantly better. Electronics, technology, weapons, houses\buildings are overall better. Some vehicles, powered equipment, appliances and furniture are better. (Lots of vehicles are good in theory with great engineering, but they can't build them reliably to save their lives.)
Everything is far worse. Not a day goes by, that I'm disgusted with the food supply, which has severely changed from the old days. Back then it showed to... Everyone but 1-2% were at a healthy weight. And, the food wasn't watered down, full of salt, jammed with extra fat, and made with byproducts that wouldn't have been used for pet food back then. Clothing, small appliances, household hardware are much worse, too. Flimsy, designed to fail or wear out as soon as you take them out of the packages.
You can see the deterioration of clothing quality, in the UPS uniform over the course of the company's history.
