Obviously, it is hard to compare life in the past and life of people in the 21 st century because so many changes have occurred. However, the changes that have taken place over the last ten years are amazing. To start with, people were not able to travel such long distances in such a short period of time. The planes were not popular then because they used to be a very expensive means of transport. Nowadays, we have become very mobile. We have fast and comfortable cars, and more and more people also travel by plane. Moreover, in the past people had to work much harder as they did not have equipment which made their work easier. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and robots. In the past, living conditions were not as comfortable as they are now. There were not modern facilities in many households. Besides, many people could not afford household appliances, such as fridges, TV sets or vacuum cleaners because they used to be luxurious goods. Another difference between living now and in the past is the fact that nowadays the access to education is much easier. In the past, there were fewer schools and the quality of education they provided was much poorer. Nowadays, it is much easier to find educational materials that you need thanks to the Internet. Another difference is that in the past there were not many sources of entertainment. Therefore, people used to spend more time with their friends. It is an obvious conclusion that life has changed significantly in the last couple of years. Life is definitely much easier now, but it is not easy to decide whether it is also better. The scientific
achievements and technological progress are amazing. We still create new inventions which simplify our lives. On the other hand, however, life now is much faster and busier than it used to be in the past. The living standard has definitely improved; however, it is a matter of discussion whether the quality of our lives is also better. (Source: Internet) 36.
