It seems that people in the present are unfriendlier than before because of busy life and many opportunities to spend their own time beside social activities. There are several reasons to support this idea.
The primary reason is technology has been higly developed. For example, for farming or agriculturing, it needs many peoople's hands, so in the past ususally people in town helped each other and shared their needs. During these process, it is natural that people got to be friendlier. Nowadays, however, many people already moved to big cities, so there is a few people who are agriculturing in village. In addition, there are several useful mashines to farm, so it does not require many people to involve in it.
The second reason is there are many pleasent ways to enjoy our free time. Computer and especially internet provides lots of sources to spend time easily by oneself such as cyber games, making home pages, posting photographs on the website, and so on. These activities make people are getting more individual rather than people spend time with other people together. On the other hand, the past people enjoyed more friendlier activities such as playing games and sports, having conversations, sharing work tasks, etc.
The two reasons as shown above are explaning why the past people were friendlier than we are today. Technological development and many sources spending personal free time cause that the contemporary people have less chances to become hang out others.
