However, even the changes that have taken place over the last ten years are amazing. To start with, people were unable to travel such long distances in such a short period of time. Planes were not that 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 tools that made their work easier. Today; most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and other machines. In the past, the conditions of living were not as comfortable as they are now. There were no bathrooms and running water in many houses. Besides, many people could not afford household appliances like fridges, TV sets, or vacuum cleaners because they used to be luxurious goods.
