▶ Your Answer :
It is questionable that my lifestyle is easier than my grandparents' lifestyle when they were young. In my opinion, I agree with the statement that the lifestyle of mine is more easy and comfortable than my grandparent's. It is because of the use of the Internet and retail innovation.
To begin with, thanks to the Internet, it became more convenient to get the information than in the past. We can use the search engine to get the information we need immediately if the network is available. But in the past, people sued to rely on books or from experienced people to get information. For example, my grandfather wanted to learn carpenter skills when he was young. To get the information about the woodcraft skills, he went to the woodworking shop in the neighbor town. The path to the office took two hours in one way by walk. He learned skills from the carpenter who ran the shop for 30 years. If my grandfather lived in my generation, he would search the Internet to get information regarding the woodcraft immediately and would not have to walk a long distance.
On top of that, the retailing system has advanced than the past and it became easier to purchase things you want. There are convenience stores around every corner and you can order things in the online shopping mall, too. You can get your things on the very next day of your order. But in the past, it was hard to imagine things that happening today. For example, my grandmother told me a short story about her old sewing machine. After she married grandfather, she wanted to have a sewing machine for a wedding gift. But there were no stores deals the sewing machine and they had to order it to the store manager. The manager said it would take several months to get the machine, and there is no choice but to wait for it. I was so surprised that it took so many times to get things delivered to my front door in the past.
To sum up, today's lifestyle became way more comfortable and easier than the time when my grandparents were young because of the advent of the Internet and innovation in retailing system. I firmly believe that the future will be more comfortable than today. In this regard, I agree with the statement that my lifestyle is easier and more comfortable than the one my grandparents experienced when they were young. |
