Some people think that compared to when our grandparents were young,
life is more comfortable and easier these days. From my perspective, however,
unlike the past, life is more uncomfortable and complex these days. In this
essay, I present two reason to substantiate my view point.
To begin with, as the technology was developed, the new high-tech device
was inventioned become inevitable in people’s daily life. People have to learn
a lot of instructions about how to use these devices such as computers,
automated home systems, and smart-phones. And it makes people’s life more
complex and difficult because these instructions usually would be so
complicated. For example, when my grandfather was young, his father only had a
simple cell-phone which was able to only text and call others. Thus, he used
the cell phone very easily with just clicking the buttons to call or text.
However, thesedays, with the advent of smart-phone which can do various things
like serching information on the Internet, listening to music, taking pictures,
I have to spend a lot of time on learning all functions the smart-phone has.
On top of that, due to increasing the number of cars, the problem of the
air pollution has become much worse than when our grandparents were kids. Cars
buring gasoline and emitting the harmful gases ranging from sulfur dioxide to
carbon oxide are one of the critical factors of air pollution. This air
polluted environment makes people suffer from headaches, sore throat, asthma,
and keep people from living comfortablely. For example, according to the “Newyork
times”, the days of acid rain has increased by 10 times in 50 years ago. To be
specific, in 2015 it had 50% acid rain of all rainy days, while in 1965, it had
5% acid rain of all rainy days. The experts who was interviewed the magazine
said that it was because of increasing the number of cars, and it actually
increased 3 times than 50 years ago. This result shows compared to the 50years
ago, we live in the worse air and it makes us more uncomfortable than before.
All things considered, I strongly believe that
compared to about 50 years ago, life has become more dishostile and difficult
these days. This is because compared to the past, we have to learn more
instructions about how to use machines, and we live in more air-polluted
environment. |
