Modern life is very different than life in the past in many different ways. First of all, the quality of life is much better in the world than it was back in the past and technology has evolved so much better now that it can be used for pretty much anything.  Also, modern life transportation has increased from virtually a horse and buggy in the past and maybe a car if you were lucky. Life in the past was much simpler than it is now because there were not nearly that many things you could do to entertain yourself back then but this idea could be a good thing if you did not get yourself into trouble like we do today. A major difference between past life and modern life is the amount of money a person or family had because the past was a time where money was hard to come buy so the children had to get jobs early so they could help provide for their families. Throughout time to the present, jobs have become more plentiful for people to apply for so families over time could earn more money. There was also a lot more poverty in the past even though there is still poverty in the world now and there were a lot more poor people back then. With all these differences between two time periods, it is better to live now or in the past?

I would say that even though you could argue for many reasons that it was better to live in the past, it still is a lot better to live in the present, but it is not always. For one thing the past was safer than it is now and there were not as many daily courting events that negatively impacted the world. It is always better to live now because you can get a better education so you can grow up and get a good job and it is much easier to get money so you can support yourself. One thing that makes modern life not better than the past s that there are many wars going on and thousands of people lose their lives every day due to unsafe living conditions. Even though there are many arguments against modern life, our way of life exceeds the life of the past in almost every aspect of the qualities of life.
