Hasn't the average global standard of living more or less skyrocketed since 1950, even as the population has more than doubled?
The only substantial, technology related decline in standard of living over that period is of relatively well off Americans, primarily the blue collar middle class (and it's messy to actually try to compare across time periods like that, there are things that cost very little today that didn't exist 30 years ago).
