Some people say that our life is easier and cozier than our grandparents' generation. However, in my opinion, our life is harder and difficult than our grandparents' generation. Of course, some high technologies machines help to our burdensome work. Careful scrutinize, however, reveals that the degree of competition and the endeavor for success are sky-rocketing.
To begin with, the competition for job market is highly serious in these days. In grandparents' generation, people tended to maintain their family job; son of farmer became a farmer and son of merchant became a merchant. Today, however, relatively few people maintain their family job; actually, the idea of family job has been disappeared. This phenomenon is quite good for equally distributed chances for people to get a job, however this makes highly competitive job markets. My cousin also has been struggled to get suitable job for 2 years from his college graduation. Thus, advanced technologies make that people are more opportunities, however it also makes people compete each other.
Next, we need more study until death. Today, new technologies and advanced machines came out at the every second. For using these things appropriately, we need to get accustomed with it and learn by manual. It is burdensome. Just last weekend, I saw my father read some manual "Twitter manual for Dummies". We use some advanced things for our conveniences, however these also cause burdensome works. My farther says that "without using twitter, he cannot contact his young colleague in his company". As we well know, the technology has been changed and will changed continuously, so far when it will change, we also have to learn for using it. This endless learning scheme makes fatigue for people.
To sum, in this text, I argue that current generation is not easier and cozier than our grandparents' generation. Some technologies, of course, alleviate our hard work. These do not have only positive things, our society is becoming more complex than before, it directly causes more competitive and education demanding society.
