Life is much better today than in the past

I have not the slightest doubt that life has changed and it is completly different than in the past.

Life has become much easier but whether better?
Let’s go back to the long-ago times – not necessarily to the antiquity but it would be enough about tens years. How did the life look then like?

First of all, people wasn’t be able to travel in such degree as nowadays. They didn’t know neither fast cars nor planes. They were travelling by first vehicles which were very slowly and uncomfortable. So their journeys were taking a long time.

Futhermore, they must have been working very hard without any instruments (or they were primitive).
Besides, the conditions of living were trying. What I mean is that, for instance, there weren’t bathrooms in many houses (they are outside) and people couldn’t afford different facilities.

Another thing is that there wasn’t universal connection to the education. Very few people had prospects of going to the school. Although, not everybody finished it.

Taking everyting into account, life in the past was very hard and difficult.

On the other hand, I think it was little better than today. It was better in such meaning that it was safer and more carefree. I may be wrong but it is my opinion.
And now let’s back again to the present.
We are surrounded by countless achievements of science and technology. There are so many inventions which make our lives easier - from household supplies through mediums of transportation.

But at the same time, we are liable to perils - there are so many accidents, crimes and hatred.
To sum up this all above, life is better today but not in every respect. With every day new inventions are devised due to simplify our commonplaceness. Unfortunately, we can change this sentence and say: with every day new inventions are devised due to make life more dangerous.
