Before Technology, life was more simple. After Technology, life has sped up. It is more hectic and fast paced. Before technological advances work was harder. People would have callus on their hands from working so hard. People still have callus on their hands in today's society but it is not as common. It was more hard to get stuff done. Today chores and everyday activities are fairly easy thanks to technological advances.
Back then most people wanted things to be more simple so they thought that with technology they would be more happy but as the comic illustrates people are still unhappy. People are unhappy today because they are afraid that their children will not learn as much about academics and life because technology consumes their life. Video games and cell phones are also nice to have but they have caused people to worry about the generations of the future and our life now.
In modern times life is more entertaining in my opinion. However, I also think that our society is moving at a fast pace. I think that if life was a mix between the old days and now then it would be great. But its not, and our society is moving faster and faster I wish that we could slow it down just a little and look at the world around us. I wish that we could take time to notice nature around us and all the beautiful, tranquil objects that God put around us to admire.
I would not prefer to have lived before cell phones because they make life so much easier, and more convenient. I know that I can get on my cell phone and call anyone of my friends and family members and talk with them right now at this very minute. I feel in sync and in touch with the people around me, but not so much with the outdoors and with nature like people used to be. If someone can find that medium to where they can be calm and be outside without technology but have technology there when a person needs it, I think all would be great. That it just my opinion though it's up to everyone else to decide which they prefer?
