Hello beautiful people, welcome to my blog,
Indeed times have changed, comparing the time of our fore fathers and the present time, for this post, I will be writing about how things have become so much easier for us now in terms of
- Transportation
- Medicine
- Technology
- Education
- entertainment
Transportation
Those days, they walked miles before they could get to their destination, then they moved to using animals such as horses, camels from there on to bicycles, still, all these can't be compared to the cars, motorbikes we have now, even international travels was almost impossible except for the more civilised countries that travelled by water through the help of ships, which takes months even up to a year at times on water to reach their destination. Now, we have the aeroplane, jets, helicopters that can make local and international travels less stressful and very little time frame, If they were here to witness this new improved generation, I'm sure they will choose ours over theirs.
Medicine
For this post, I will be focusing on our pregnant mothers and new born babies, I know a lot of people will say the mothers of those days gave birth to a lot of children but do you know that the mortality rate of mother and child was high then compared to now due to the invent of advanced equipment and more knowledge acquired through research, a lot of things can be detected as early as the pregnancy began, to prevent further complications during the pregnancy and the day of delivery, please, I will choose the well equipped hospitals to giving birth at home.
Technology
This is the most advantage we have because a lot of other things fall other this category.
- Cooking Appliances
Have you ever tried using firewoods to cook before? The setting of fire, blowing it and of course the smoke which don't only end up in the air but also your hair and clothes, this very task is exhausting, I prefer our gas cooker, electric blender instead of the grinding stone and a lot of other appliances readily available even at cheaper and affordable rates which make the cooking process less tasking and time saving too.
Let me also add one domestic appliance, the washing machine another invention that makes life easier, instead of taking your clothes to the river to wash like they do then, the washing machine does the job while you relax or do something else with the time you would have spent washing and stressing.
- Wonders of Computer
Those days sending messages was a really difficult task, they sometimes have to look for someone who was going towards the location of the person they need to send a message to, unlike now, almost everyone around has as mobile device, you can just make a call or send an Instant message. The world has literally become a global village, you can be anywhere in the world and reach someone in another continent just by the tip of your fingers, what can be more easier than that? We are really enjoying in this era.
A lot of people has also developed a skill just by watching YouTube videos, and earning at the comforts of their home, Life is now easier in that aspect. Also take the Hive blockchain for example, do you know a lot of people use here as their basic source of income even most of us as side income, Life is really easier now, you don't need stressing yourself going to the farm like everybody do then, there are agriculturist taking care of that aspect.
Education
Gone are the days where the most population of the word were illiterates, now we are more learned, and with education, a lot of things done ignorantly before in terms of some cultures and superstitions, are gradually fading off, people know better now, girl child are not pushed to a husband house in their early teens again and forced to become mothers, they go to school just like the male gender, and we have seen them explore and do well, even becoming solutions to some of the world's problem.
Entertainment
Before, they had to depend on themselves to have a form of entertainment, now there are various ways in which we could get entertained, without physically involving anybody, from listening to music on your devices, to virtual games, or just watching movies and a lot more.
This topic is a very vast one, but since we are focusing on life being easier, the modern day has it for me and the few points I've just raised above have said it all.

Thank you for visiting my blog.❤❤
Woww
What an amazing points here my darling 🥰
Permit me to comment on medicine; pregnant mothers to be precise
If I tell you the story my grandma told me they passed through while giving birth, my dear... you might shed tears. Each time I remember that, it usually give me so much concern. Lots of mothers lost their lives then due to lack of technology and inexperienced Medical doctors. Honestly our current generation are enjoying in the aspect of medicine and I pray that God will continue to provide the money we need to take care of our health properly. I am a mother and it gives me much concern seeing mothers loosing their lives due to lack of good medical care all because of money. YOU will see some giving birth in the house through a nurse, and when complications arise, it becomes so difficult to handle
Thanks for sharing your view 👌👍

Exactly sis, I've also witnessed too many ocasions where mothers lost their lives due to ignorance, that a simple visit to a well equipped hospital would have averted, Life is really more valuable than money.
Thanks for sharing with us your insight to that aspect of the matter.
My dear, what about the killing of twins, some of shouldn't have been alive today. Thank God for that woman
I am a twin and I can't thank that woman enough. She is a heroin
I would like to go back in time and try how it was to live without all the things we have today. But I think I will want to come back to the present time, well, I guess I would like to come back :D
Oh, washing machine... mine just broke down last week 😒
I am taking now my clothes to the laundry to wash them, but a new machine for home will have to be purchased
Your curiosity just makes you feel like going back, still the luxury of things being much easier to do now will bring you back to the present times which shows you do appreciate the current time.
So sorry about your washing machine, I know how a little bit stressful it might be for you now, taking your clothes to the laundry. I hope you get a new one soon.
Thanks for stopping by and dropping this warm comment.
The current dispensation make things easier but with a greater repacaution if you consider it well again. Thanks for sharing.
Basically everything has a repacaution,still that shouldn't stop us from enjoying the moment and strife to become better each passing day.
In the aspect of transportation, communication, electrical appliances etc, we are enjoying it better than our forefathers because these things are made easier for our use and interaction.
Very much easier, especially for we lazy youths😂😂😂
Thanks for stopping by dear
Hahaha. Lazy youth indeed 😂
When it comes to technological advancement, the time of our fathers and this present time cannot be compared. We may never have lived in that time to know if life was easier but with all of the stories which have been told, we sure have it better in that area.
Sure sis we have it better.
Thanks for stopping by dear.
From what I've experienced for the past years, life really did become easier in terms of what you have listed. Unfortunately, in a way, it also becomes harder (e.g. massive inflation, the poor becoming poorer).

Comparing with easiness of life, this our modern age has it. We have everything almost automated, life is just simple compared to the days of old. The only major difference is PEACE experienced then, which is very rare in our days
Remember the old days had their own share of wars too, for me, especially in our country what we lack now is security which then eludes ous of our peace.
Yeah sure, the greatest weakness to us right now is insecurity and it has a way of affecting every other thing
That is a great piece, this modern world we live now has really helped to improve our lives so much especially in terms of the rate of doing things. Thanks for writing this wonderful piece.
This Modern world has make our life digital by making life easier in terms of cooking and traveling.
A lot has truly changed with regards to development. In all aspects of life, we have come a long way from what our ancestors used to know. And it is even easier now to find happiness than it was back then. But humans will always complicate things.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Truly, the world is suppose to be better if not humans selfishness.
Thanks for stopping by.
A lot have changed, we are enjoying the evolvement of technology.
Yes we are
Sure, there are advantages and disadvantages on both sides, but of we were asked to choose, I'll still choose our time.
Thanks for stopping by dear.
