Many people believe that people are not very happy and satisfied today than people were in the past. However, in my opinion, people are happier and more satisfied these days. This is because there are lots of things to enjoy and people are more connected to each other. To begin with, people can enjoy almost everything they could imagine. There are numerous entertainment out there and all of us could easily blow off the steam if we put our mind to it. For instance, we can go to amusement park to ride a roller coaster. Was this possible in the past? This is a totally different type of entertainment and people were not able to enjoy this great pleasure! You don't even have to go to the amusement park. Just turn on the TV. I guarantee you could find a really funny channel within 10 minutes. On top of that, modern people are more connected together thanks to the technical development. While it took months to travel to other countries in the past, now it only takes 14 hours to fly to the other side of the earth. You don't even have to spend 14 hours. You can just dial the number. For instance, when my sister was studying in America, my parents and me missed and worried about her. But we could check on her through the video call. All we needed was a laptop computer. Whenever we were concerned about her, we got on the Internet and talked about many things we've got going. My parents rejoiced to see her and I was also glad that we could talk to her face to face even she was on the other side of the earth. To sum up, these days people can enjoy countless entertaining things compared to the past and the modern technology has made it possible for people to be connected to each other. In this regard, I maintain that people are happier and more satisfied today then people were in the past. |
