Not to jump in on the back and forth here, but maybe that's because the world is 900 times more global than it was 50 years ago? Think about what you just said, the age of the jet-liner was just beginning 50 years ago. Do you really think that "living abroad" was as easy as it is today when most people needed to take a steamship to get to foreign countries... Nowadays all you need to do is hop on a jet and you can get anywhere in the world in less than 24 hours. Additionally the United States has been the prime driver of globalism for the past 50 years so you'd think it would make sense for a lot of us to be abroad since we've economically colonized most of East Asia and have gigantic military outposts all over the world...
