My guess would be somewhere between the 1960s and 2000 or the first half of 2001. I'm just going to use September 11, 2001 as a sort of base point for when the decline in quality started. I think since then the quality of life on Earth has been in a continuous decline. I would say the decline throughout the 2000s was gradual, because even though the decade may have started with something so terrible, for the most part the 2000s were quite fine, even though it definitely got worse year by year. But ever since the early-mid 2010s or so until now, it has been plummeting hard, until we come to 2018 which has been absolute complete shit. Thoughts? I don't think it has peaked... YET.
Alternately, a decline cant be said to have happened until all living beings on said planet are not be able to survive on it. This planet can still sustain the life that lives on it. So decline hasn't happened... YET.
But that doesn't mean we don't need to be on the lookout. While we have the power to make things better, we also have the power to makes things worse.
AMENDMENT: If you want to blame technology and mans use of it for a "decline" then you would have to say since the Industrial Revolution (1760 to 1840). That's when mankind first started to rape the land in massive ways and belch pollution into the skies in significant amounts.

In terms of the topic... I don't have too much to say but I can say that, at least in civilized societies like the USA etc, the quality of life is definitely better in semi-recent memory than say 50-100 years ago with the advancements in technology/medicine etc.
but in terms of morality... I would say things started to decline here in the USA in about the 1960's (or early 1970's at the most recent) which is going to have a negative effect on society as a whole and that's basically what's happening.

The overall quality of my life peaked between 2006 until the fall of 2009. That's when life for me went downhill big time. The Late-2000's were the golden age for society in my opinion.
