What are the effects of modernity to a person's morality?

Modernity can have either a positive of negative effect on a persons moral depending on the person and the situation.

Example of Positive Moral Boost:

During war or a battle of some sort, troops with better and more modernised weapons, tactics and equipment will gain a moral boost with the knowledge that, their more modernised weapons and tactics will overpower and/or defeat the less modernised or otherwised obsolete weapons and tactics of the enemy.

Example of Negative Moral Boost:

As a person ages past a certain point they lose the ability to learn as quickly as they used to, so as newer and more modernised versions of computers and other items come out and are released to the public for consumption, the older person might not understand the newer version/model as quickly or they just might not want to because they are mentally/emotionally attached to the older version. This can have a negative effect on a person's moral due to depression or sadness that they can't use the newer model and/or their age may be catching up to them.
