Is modern life "always" better than it was in the past?
When saying modern life is always better is a wrong statement. In the past we might not have had the technology we have now but we do have longer lives but in the past we didn’t have inflation. Inflation has increased the price of everything we own and it determines how much we spend on products and services. There are many pros and cons in modern life. New technology has changed the ways we live and work. It has changed our day to day and also the jobs we may have. Many jobs are gone that used to be very prominent in the past like soda jerks, a town crier, and typewriter engineers. Many would make money with these jobs but they are no longer here. The needs of people change and things go out of business while others replace the old. Even though now we have medicine that can make us live longer and we are not dying by different diseases that used to exist. With the different ways of life we have more things that help us multitask. Transportation is another good thing that has helped us in modern life. In the 1930’s cars were a luxury but now they are a thing everyone owns. The world has gone from horse to trains to cars in our modern world. With modern life we have also changed the way we get news and are informed. We have changed a lot since the beginning of time to modern life. So in the end there are many pros and cons of our modern life.
