Life is better today than it was 100 years ago? People who live nowadays can get everything they want, of course, if they really want it. They have high speed internet connection, not only at home but via their cell phones, which is making life easier, they can learn foreign languages sitting behind their laptops or find new friends from all around the world. They can travel easy because there are huge quantity of flight connections etc. Meanwhile a hundred years ago this would have been unbelievable. 100 years ago people didn’t have access to that kind of knowledges and of course, technologies which we have now. If they wanted to tell some information to the person which was far away they had to write a letter and wait for delivery. I’m not saying that it’s a bad way to communicate, but it takes too much time, especially if you need to share information as quick as possible. Also it wasn’t possible to travel a lot like we do it nowadays, that’s why a lot of people who lived 100 years ago never visited other countries and from my point of view they’ve lost a lot of positive emotions which is very important. Talking about medicine, unfortunately there are no absolutely healthy people nowadays, but, we have a much better ways to cure a lot of deceases, they’re based on scientific discoveries, which was made in a last 30-50 years. Even those deceases which was incurable or deadly 100 years ago no we can hold under the control and live normally. Of course, we still didn’t discover some elixir of immortality, but those fact that, for example, cancer can be cured in a high percentage is a good progress for modern humanity. Despite some global problems which we have nowadays, I think that we live in a good time. Time of knowledges, technologies and time when you can do all what you want.
