Summary
Life was much harder for the people of olden days. There was no electricity. They
had to start their work before sunrise and finish before sunset. Not many doctors,
hospitals and medicines. It used to take long time to travel between cities.
New technology has changed the life style altogether. People have a lot of facilities
which have given the man of modern times more time for leisure activities. Modern
medicines and hospitals helped in increasing life span of modern man. We travel on
fast cars, trains and ships. We travel between countries using ultra sound aero planes.
But, our development has impacted our environment badly. Pollution is on the rise.
Are we more happy today?
