How do I tell I am not in the 80's. I just requested a repeat prescription in 30 seconds, requested a pizza in 60 seconds, purchased some stock in 60 seconds, paid a trades-person in 30 seconds. I can buy stuff at any shop (99.9%) around here without my wallet. I haven't spoken to someone at a bank branch for years. I don't have something ... I can order it online and get it the next day. I can have access to courses that are 10 times better than $2000 week long in-person courses of the 90s, for free or little money. Where does it end...?

If we are measuring by using dollars, well that's silly. We could have $100TN or whatever of tokens in circulation and be living like wild animals or colonizing the solar system.
