Literally everything you listed can either be enjoyed now or has been enhanced by....you guessed it....the internet. Part of this generation's problem with being obsessed with everything "retro" is not appreciating just how good we have it right now. The vast majority of folks in their prime in the 80s would trade places in a heartbeat. You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise. Leave the "things were better back in the day" babble to those who're already going to trash the way things are now. Those who were in their prime in the 80s? They assumed their world was the shite, while their elders pined for the 60s and 50s.
The internet can't enhance street racing or smoking pits and more freedom. Or firsts in space exploration. Are there a lot of things today that are better? Sure. But are there some things that were lost and would be better today.. absolutely, as well.

I can go with the mixed bag perspective. Up to a point.
Suck and tired of millenials with so little spine they are quick to trash their own generation. Part of what made previous generations great was the fact that they held themselves as a collective in higher esteem, their predecessors be damned.
It might be gratifying for the older set (not speaking to you specifically, just in general) to hear their heyday constantly praised, but it's pretty overblown when it comes to millenials (ironic because we're often accused of being the most self-centered).
Have some damn pride in your time, and enjoy it while it lasts. I wouldn't trade being my age right now for the world.
