▶ Your Answer :
It is an
undeniable fact that the world has changed a lot compared to the world of my
grandparents. There are plenty of reasons to account for these but I think the
most influential one is technology. Upon discussing whether is more comfortable
and easier nowadays than the past. There might be some people who believe that
it was more comfortable the epoch of my grandparents than mine. However, I do
not agree with the above idea for two reasons.
First of all, there are plenty of means of
transportation today. In the past, there were no other means of transportation
rather than walking or riding the animals. Nevertheless, through the pass of
the time, there were several breakouts which facilitated the transportations
such as planes, cars, helicopters and etc. I have a personal example to
illustrate my idea easier. I was born in South Korea but now I live in the USA.
This is possible because a plane can take people to any place in the world in a
matter of hours. If planes do not exist, it would be hard to move like i did
because it would take too much time and a huge risk. This is a clear example
which demonstrates that nowadays people can migrate to any place in the world
due to the development of the technology.
In addition, the
appearance of a new method of communication made it easier and more comfortable
the world. To be specific, the ancestor could not communicate with the people
with speed and comfortably. The only way they had were verbal. However,
nowadays with just some clicks people can interact with anyone in any place at
anytime. For instance, the police, I cannot imagine how the ancestor could
protect themselves from jeopardy. As they did not have a way to communicate
with others. Now by just dialing nine one one people can be protected easily.
The police can know when, where, why, and how people are in danger as soon as
they receive a call. Therefore, they can react swiftly.
This example
clearly shows that people live in a world more secure than the past thanks to
the technology. In conclusion, the conditions of now make it easier and
comfortable. Because of the developments of means of transportation and
communication. In this regard, I strongly believe that it is better to live
nowadays. |
