I'd actually say no, in basic terms. QoL has been steadily improving at different rates for most of the world, with hunger and disease still being issues but much less so in 2000 than in 1900. The nature of modern war means we will probably never see another WWII scale conflict that doesn't end in everyone getting nuked.
What does happen will be a lot more apparent, with our unheard-of access to information, and I think it feels a lot more constant because of that, but in overall terms we're getting incrementally better.

I sure hope that nuclear weapons mean that nothing like WW2 will ever happen again
