It is often said that nowadays life has become more complex because as the technology has advanced, it causes some problems such as serious pollution, which human have to face in the modern society. However, I believe that since comfortable means doing something efficiently, and giving much chances for people to survive in the society, today, life become easier and comfortable than in the past for two main reasons: new technology helps people save more time, and new trend make possible for people to get a job easily
First of all, nowadays new technology enables people to save time in searching information. It is obvious that the advent of the convenient tools such as computer, TV, and Internet helped made people's lives better. This is because unlike the these days, people in the past spend a lot of time researching at a library. They have to walk around to find right books, thumb through the book to get the correct information, and then copy everything by handwriting. Thus, it is more convenient to accumulate information at a click of a button through Internet and TV. For example, when I was in highschool, I had to write a paper comparing the value of the Korean Won with that of the Euro. I typed key words on the search engine, Google, and clicked the enter key. After second, all the information I needed showed up on the screen. I was able to collect the most latest statistic while sitting in front of the computer. If I depended solely on books as my grandparents did in the past, it would have taken me at least a week only to get information on currencies.
In addition, in the modern society allows people to have more opportunities to survive than ever before. It is commonly observed that jobs which are simply ignored and condemned in the past, are praised in the modern society. This is because as the society has become advanced, people's thought and believe have also rapidly changed. Therefore, many different kinds of jobs have been available nowadays, which lead people to have more chances to get a job easily than in the past. For example, In the past, when people get a job, they usually apply for big companies or public officer such as teachers. In contrast, according to research conducted by Seoul National University in 2007 shows people apply for many different jobs based on their specialization. Especially, jobs related to the computer were favored by nowadays people, which people in the past never consider. This leads to significantly decrease unemployed person that provides more chances to survive in the society.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that nowadays make people's lives comfortable. This is because nowadays make possible for people to save time in searching information, and people are capability of having more chances to survive in modern society by the advent of many jobs.
