In the last 100 years there have been a lot of advancements in different aspects of society, making a big change in our lives. Some people say this is the best moment to be alive, but is this really true?
First of all, the advances on technology, technology has advanced a lot in the last few years, making it more accessible and changing almost completely the way we live today. Everyone has at least one technological device in their homes, having access to information and many other things on the internet, as well as making communication much easier. You can now talk with someone on the other side of the world just by tapping a button on your phone. The medical area has also improved thanks to technology, now hospitals have better equipment and there are more cures and treatments for many illnesses.
On the other hand, technology has also caused some problems to take into account, such as addiction. A lot of people have become addicted to their screens, causing them to stay at home and, in many cases, get depression, wich ends up making a lot of people want to commit suicide. Another aspect to have in mind is that there’s a lot of violence in the world, some countries like Russia and Ukraine, or Palestine and Israel are at war, meaning the world is far from achieving peace.
In conclusion, today the world has experienced a lot of positive changes, although, there are still a lot of negative things, so with this, we could consider today is a really good moment to be alive, but not the best.
