Is bursting crackers on Diwali right?

I don't understand the attitude of today's generation. In every item related to our Indian custom and culture they raise questions? It is very very wrong.When I was too young ( Now I am 49) it was only Zameen Chakra, Flower Pot, ordinary/sparkling crackles and very very thin sound cracker like items only were used during Diwali.During those days almost every poor Indian  used to buy new cloths/crackers/sweets etc according to his earning capacity. Some times they take a small amount of loan also.It is one of the occcasion where the poor also celebrates.The beggers were fed on that day.Moreover at that time there was no pollution like issues in those days.Due to technology/other developments and competition which turned the cracker industry into a risky one and polluted one. In every new development the same risks are there. Mobile is invented for emergency call purposes. But what is happening now? While driving/while walking on roads/railway tracks they use it and put their life and other persons life at risk. They use it for sending sexy SMS and for taking sexy photos/MMS etc.The same way items like bikes and cars. It was introduced for comfort purpose. They have increased the CCs/Speed Limits etc and invite trouble.Take the case of Computers. Instead of using it for beneficial purposes they use it for downloading or forwarding unwarranted pictures/messages etc. Even some of them using the computers to get money from someone's bank account also. Every thing is invented by today's generation only. It is spoiled and misused by mostly by them only. In olden days inventions were not misused like that of todays. There were elders to prevent or control the misuse in those days. Today every thing is care free including pre and post marital life. Those days only ordinary 303 rifles. Today AK47/56 etc. What was the need for it? Are we humans or some thing else. All trees are cut. All river sands are quarried. Every where SEZs in agriculture lands. My father never seen a four digit salary. But he was able to give good if not the best education to four of us. Build his own house. Occasionally he took us for Cinemas/Dramas etc. He spent money on our tours. He also hired Taxis/auto rickshaws when there was need.He also made trunk calls etc. We were very very happy then. Now every facility is incresed. Every technology is improved. Things are moving fast. But in my opinion nothing is going in the right direction. We are going towards dead end. Accordingly it is suggested that instead of blaming the tradition culture etc,let us mend our ways after identifying the real problem.
