my essay:
Nowadays, as the rapid development of modern society, people’s standard of lives has improved a lot. Many things that seem incredible are accessible now, such as the cars and plans. So, from this point of view, our lives are become easier and more comfortable.
Firstly, in recent decades, the technology of communication has a lot progress. In the past, the only way to connect with others is to talk face to face. But currently, many advanced tools are available, such as the phones and online chatting room. For example, I heard from my grandma that in her childhood, if she had some academic problems, she might take a 1-hour walk to her classmates’ home and it was still cannot guarantee that her problems will be solved. By contrast, when I have problems, I am able to call one of my friends that may take me only 10 minutes and if we have problems, we can chat in the online chatting room and have a brainstorm together to stimulate inspiration. So, it is the high-technical communication tools make my life easier.
Secondly, as time goes by, more methods are feasible for us to get information. In old days, if my grandparents wanted to do some researches, they must swamp into the library to get extra materials that they needed. However, now, everything is changed. Take myself for example, once I wanted to find some academic journals about wild animals. I just taped “wild animal” on google.com and various information appeared in front of me and I only selected some of them that are instrumental for me. So, I would finish the work in a short time and then enjoy my life at home. So, it seems clear that the plentiful ways to get information shorten the time on doing some things.
Finally, the most important mark for modern society is plan and other high-speed transportation. When my grandpa was at the age as me before 70 years, he never traveled to other cities or countries because no proper transportation can use to travel; even cars and trains are rare at that time. However, as for me, although I am a Chinese, I have been to America and other countries. It is the plane that makes this cross-continental trip becomes possible. Also, the prices are affordable for citizens. When we go abroad, we have capability to know the different culture and enrich us and also take our mind off. As a result, the plane, as the mark of advanced transportation, gives us a better chance to enjoy our lives.
In conclusion, it is an absolute truth that our lives are more relaxing and pleasing.
