I'll back out of this discussion after this post (realise I've been on this thread a lot in the last 24 hours), but I think that in most cases it has. Take that argument to the extreme and we'd still be nomadic hunter-gatherers hitting each other over the head with rocks!
More seriously though, I think that most technological advancements end up being for the better in the long term, though many either had growing pains, or were used for less salubrious things before coming right (e.g without the V2 rocket, humans might never have walked on the moon). I suspect what you're talking about is that technology has changed the nature of the profession you once held in a way you don't particularly care for, and you're not alone in that amongst people of almost every trade and profession, let alone just pilots!
