Does life today are eaiser and more comfortable than when our grandparents were children Recent years have witnessed growing concerns over the rapid development of technology. You may not notice, but things have changed so fast around us. It only takes 20 years to have such significant advances in smartphones, and people 100 years ago cannot even imagine the arrival of electronics age. It seems that the accelerated advancement of technology does make our lives better. But easier? Maybe not. The benefits brought by advance techniques do not outweigh the price we pay for using them. On the one hand, comfortable lifestyle often leads to unhealthy habits. We were deprived of the chances to do more exercising since everything can be done through the Internet. On the other hand, moral challenges are arising in pace with the rising of artificial intelligence. The display of the robots cast doubts on the definition of human beings which is rather clear in the past. Also, with an unprecedented number of distractions, we now are having a hard time to stay focus, suffocating with flows of information. In a world that everyone is speeding up and cramming their schedule to get ahead, it's hard to say that we were more comfortable than our counterparts 100 years ago. Back then, everything seems more straightforward. They lived close, develop a close connection and have the capacity to listen to others, while modern society believes that efficiency means everything. It almost cuts every possible means for us to possess actual communication, face to face. In all, it's paramount to know that we are not living in a more relaxed and more comfortable world. It's just a world with more advanced technology that can assist us in working better and more efficient.

Is life today easier and more comfortable than when our grandparents were children

In recent years, we have witnessed growing concerns over the rapid development of technology. You may not notice, but things have changed so fast around us. It only takes 20 years to have such significant advances in smartphones, and people 100 years ago cannot even imagine the arrival of electronics age. It seems that the accelerated advancement of technology does make our lives better. But easier? Maybe not.

The benefits brought by advance techniques do not outweigh the price we pay for using them. On the one hand, a comfortable lifestyle often leads to unhealthy habits. We are missing opportunities to exercise more since everything can be done through the Internet. On the other hand, moral challenges are arising at the same pace as artificial intelligence. The rise of robots casts doubts on the definition of what it means to be a human being, which was clearer in the past. Also, with an unprecedented number of distractions, we have a harder time staying focused with the suffocating flow of information.

In a world where life is speeding up and people are cramming their schedules to get ahead. It's hard to say if we were more comfortable than our counterparts 100 years ago. Back then, everything seems more straightforward. They lived close, developed close connections and had the capacity to listen to others, whereas modern society believes that efficiency means everything. It almost cuts every possible means for us to possess actual communication, face to face.

In all, it's paramount to know that we are not living in a more relaxed and more comfortable world. It's just a world with more advanced technology that can assist us to be better and more efficient workers.

You are right. Some people say that they will loose their jobs like a taxi driver, for example, because of automatization, but I think in a few decades there will be new professions like different robot techical services etc, people will serve robots, more proffesions will shift into making robots and automated industries. But agree, people will never be satisfied.Probably all of this will lead our planet to base income.

Thanks for your comment! I believe there are places where we can have fun. Though, I am still wondering how far we can go with the advancement in technology. It seems that our desire is infinite, and we can never be satisfied.

Hello! You're right, Bling! I really liked your article, the world is getting too competitive with creating all this modern technologies. But I can say there are some places on Earth where a human being can feel themselves good and free, like russian/kazakhstanian/belarussian countrysides, for example. You can freely make campfires, you can grow vegetables, some fruits like apples, the air aint that poluted and dirty as it is in some other countries, also not that many people living here, so you can enjoy the nature. What I want to say is every year there is becoming not that many places on our planet where a man can grow anything, globalisation is coming everywhere, corporations make us work as hard as a man possibly can. I don't think that is that happy world we all dream of.
