¨Modern society ?

I am wondering about modern society. When I started as a Canoe outfitter in late 1955, we had telephone in our house with a number 22 and an A. The neighbour had a B. If I have to call Copenhagen, I must drive to the nearest little town Billingsfors. Go to the telephone station and ask the lady for a connection and normally stay there for ca. 20-30 minute. If I went on a 14 day canoe tour with guest, I was very lucky if I could go in to a house and ask if they had a telephone I could use, for calling home and give a report. If I had a problem, I have to fix it; it was up to me and only me. Today if people are on canoe tour, and there is a small problem, they call and ask for help as long as they have battery. When I started as a canoe outfitter, we cover missing equipment with experience, today people cower missing experience with equipment, or call for help on telephone and start blaming other as soon as they can. This is the modern society! OR?
