You don't yearn for the past, you yearn for a less alienated relationship to technology. The exploiters just hadn't had as much time to set up all the alienation in design they wanted yet, back then. Waves of planned obsolescence, monopolization, and major defeats for the labor movement were required to give rise to the generation of miserable engineers and designers who spawn today's abominable consumer devices.
