The issue at hand is following: does life became easier nowadays, than it was two generations ago? This question is very important, because it strongly connected with understanding of progress. In my opinion life today is much more comfortable and enjoyable than two generations ago.

I believe that technological progress made our lives very comfortable in comparison with past. Today we have a lot of innovations, which are totally obligate for our comfort. The internet, telephone and television were unavailable for our grandfathers, but modern human gets all benefits from them. Plenty of modern devices make it easy to connect, to communicate and to live than it was forty years ago. Development of transport made possible cheap travelling all other the world.

In addition, lots of scientific papers shows that different parameters, such as life length, quality of life and health level have been increased during last decades. There are no reasons for rejection of solid scientific data. Moreover, many people observe considerable increase in the life level during their own life that is in line with scientific evidences.

My grandfather is 67 years old, and he agrees with my opinion. Because of modern medicine his life is rather comfortable, despite he has some health troubles. Medics nowadays are able to increase his life longevity and quality, but 40 years ago it was impossible to care many diseases, such as my grandfather’s diabetes. Therefore, medicine development increased our life level and helped to elder people feel themselves comfortable.

In conclusion, our life became easier and more comfortable during last few decades due to technological developments and progress in medicine. I feel that our descendants will be even more satisfied by life than we are.
