Myth that the present is always better than the past

There is a peak in everything.
And if it passes the peak, it will decline.

That's rather broad.

Any bubble era is good for getting and spending money. But technology constantly improves people's lives as we progress into the future.

Isn't there a myth that the past is always better (purer, nicer, less douchebags, etc.) than the present? Maybe these myths cancel each other out.

Okay, let's make a big good picture of future.
Everybody is rich in the future.
Everybody is happy.
You can do whatever your wildest dream is.
And it's legal.
