There might be some people who say that living in the past was more comfortable and easier than today. However, contrary to this, I personally agree with the idea that living today is more comfortable and easier than when our grandparents were children. The concept of medical technology and mobility will support my argument.
To begin with, developed medical technology makes our life comfortable today, compared to the past. These days there are few illnesses that we can not cure and people can check their health problems regularly. However there were so many diseases that people even didn't know that is the reason in the past. As a results, so many people died because of the uncertain reason. For example, my grandfather passed away because of stomach cancer. Although it was the beginning phase of the cancer, doctors at that moment couldn't cure him since there was not enough knowledge of cancer. However, when my friends checked that he got stomach cancer, though it was hard period to him, he could remove cancer and become healthy again. If there were no development of medical technology like the past, he would have been depressed and unhealthy.
In addition, development of mobility helps us to live a more comfortable and easier life compared to the past. When our grandparents were children, there were not so many people who had cars. Also transportation was not developed enough. However these days people can go everywhere they want to go. Thanks to the flight service, we can even fly to other countries with in short time. This changes make people experience more in various cultures and get new chance in career. For example, my brother traveled to Germany and he realized that he wants to work there. So he applied internship in Germany and he could get a chance to work. If it was the age of our grandparents, no one could imagine to fly other country and get a career, because of the lack of mobility development.
To sum up, development of medical technology and mobility makes people live more comfortable and easier than before. In this regard, I agree with the statement that living today is more comfortable and easier than when our grandparents were children.
