Question: Is modern life "always" better than it was in the past?
To me, I don't think modern life was necessarily "better" than it was in the past. But this all depends on your perspective on life. A long time ago, technology was just becoming known. This means no TV's, phones, computers, or I-pod's. The sad thing is, that now a days, most people can't live without these things. Technology has taken over our world completely. Many people are so caught up in being up to date with all the latest gadgets, that they don't even take time to enjoy life. A while ago, people would do things such as read or go outside for fun. Today, most teenagers are texting or playing x-box for fun. But technology doesn't only have negative effects on the society and people. These advancements have improved our communication with each other, of course not face-to-face though. Education has also benefited from new discoveries in technology. It's just that life 100 years ago is so different than life today. You can't really say which is better, it just all depends on whether you prefer taking advantage of every moment you have, or waste it doing things like x-box.
