The frequency of every thing has gone up. You are no longer in band for any of
electronics.
Years ago my two meter rig heard and could reboot the ATM machine. Years later
I heard the ATM on 440 MHz. It's higher than a GHz now.

SOME kinds of home electronics devices have gotten better. 25 years ago, my YL
bought a fairly expensive electronic piano. Despite several pounds of ferrites
on the power cord, I still wiped it out. Then, a couple years ago, she bought a
new one. No external ferrites. I've tried my best in many contests, but I can't
make the thing flinch. (She often is practicing when I'm operating. I'd hear
about it.) It's a different brand (Kawai now, Yamaha then). I'm a bit puzzled
by that, actually: Why would an electronics manufacturer go to the trouble of
making something that RF proof, when so few of their customers have a
transmitter that close? Not that I'm complaining.
Other home electronics devices seem to have gotten better, too. Now, if only
they'd do something about those switching supplies!
