The pictures illustrates the changing in Dubai for the recent decades. It shows that there are so many significants area that clearly different from the past.In the first picture, as being the past Dubai before the changing, it clearly shows that the road is still clear, not so many vehicles are passing by and even the buildings around is yet not be built. However, Dubai in the past might be different than the future because one of the reason is also how futuristic the era might be. There are countable people who were using vehicles back then, whereas right now, in the present, it is shown uncountable for it.
The present Dubai, shows that there are so many significant that happened than the past. It already written by the image that there are so many vehicles in the past, Dubai also discovers more buildings. The differences show that in decades everything can happen, depends on the people and also the era of globalization.
In other hands, this significant effect from the past and present can also depends on the timing of that day. So many people prefer to use their own car or bike, yet it was remain not that useful back then.
