@KnightofMotley it's entirely possible that we are just louder these days.

But on the other side, for example in the supermarket, there is so much choice that it's sometimes difficult to pick something, because by choosing one thing you'll miss out on the other, and that then again is frustrating. Or you would have to pick one of everything of course..

The problem that I have with that final conclusion is the notion that our preferences make us happy. Well, deeper than that: the notion that personal choice is connected to happiness. We have so much more potential for personalized choice in every aspect of our lives, from food to church to politics to romance, and yet we are today more dissatisfied and unhappy than we were fifty years ago.
Choice does not bring fulfillment. Fulfillment is closer to the root of happiness.

These facinating educational entertaining videos are just awesome. I wish Tv would cut out all those reality shows and put this stuff on.
