Are Children Happier Now Than in The Past?

Children in the past were happier in accordance with the few toys they owned than now? What has happened?
Children nowadays are asking for more and more toys. That will probably be because children today are more spoiled than in the past. Circumstances have changed and now there are more toys to choose in the market.
Could today's children live like clidren in the past?
In my opinion I think it could not be possible because if a child is used to living with toys to enjoy his/her life, I don't think it would be a wonderful life for them to live without toys.

Another question, are they happier now or in the past?
In my opinion children in the past, because what children like most is to be cared of than having objects and toys. In the past they used to live in a family with little money but with a lot of care, and now we want to supply all by buying toys and paying for things.
