Some people think that the era that our grandparents lived when they were young and era today is similar. However, in my opinion, life nowadays are more convenient because of development of internet and increase new transportation. To begin with, after the development of internet people are able to access to abundant information and are able to receive more efficient education. This was impossible back when our grandparents were young. They had to look through a lot of books to find information and the only way to get good education was to get in to good university. Nowadays people can just take out their smartphones or use their own laptop to find information and listen to internet lecture. For example, my grandparents used to tell me that when they were young it was very uncomfortable because their was limited access to the information that they wanted. It was only the library where they can go look for information and even in the library it took too much time compare to smartphones which has fast and easy access to information.
On top of that, the invention of new transportation such as airplanes and trains made better life than before. Now people can travel to other countries and do businesses. Also, transportation such as subways or bus allows students to go to school more comfortable than before. In addition, the businesses expanded with a accessability to trade with far distanced countries. It enabled to trade more easily and faster. According to the article from New York Times, on 2010s there was a significant increase in people whose traveling and doing international businesses compare to 1950s. After the development of transportation it gradually increased. On 1950s only the people who are selected could travel and businesses with other countries were very difficult, but after the development of new transportation it allowed more and more people to enjoy traveling and do businesses overseas. To sum up, invention of internet and new transportation allowed people to enjoy life comfortably and easily. In this regard, I think era that we are living is more convenient than those of era that our grandparents lived when they were young. |
