Nowadays, there are a lot of things that people do it every days was impossible in the past. Thus, ride automobiles, planes, and ships, and also the way we contact to each other, deal with other. It is true that health care increase rabidly. However, all these things were impossible to do it. For instance, everyday I drive my car to the work in the morning. At noon I return home and watch TV. Sometime I call my friends by the phone. And also if I want to travel to far city I can get a ticket and fly by plane. All these were people in the past can not believe it will accord. Indeed, these things come after the revolution of the industries in the twentieth century.
I think the life these day is accelerate the way we live and make it easy than before.

Everything is steadily developed everyday. Even case of chairs, you don’t have to think of just simple chairs anymore but many different kinds of functional chairs. People expect to get more convenient, multiplier, and higher functional products more and more as time goes by.
When I was a little girl, I didn’t have a computer, but I had never felt it was inconvenient for me. If I needed to know some phone numbers I could ask it to the phone number service center by making a phone call. I usually used to read a newspaper to know what happened everyday instead of surfing on a web site. I went to a library to search history documents not typing key words of them on a bar over the internet.
However, I can’t imagine my life without computer now. If I don’t have a computer I should go to theaters to pay for tickets every times, call to restaurants to ask something about foods whenever I have a dinner outside, and summit applications to universities to which I like to apply by walk.
Furthermore, I can’t wait more than 3 seconds for being reached to the next page after I clicked a mouse button on the information which I would like to approach on web. It may be the reason why many industries continually try to produce higher quality of goods for customers who desire to own better products. Also, a bunch of types of computer models are in a store these days. Each of them has different versions from low CPU to high one. Even invention of a computer might be an epoch-making event to people, but they regard it as a nothing today.
Finally, a computer which was not in the world 150 years ago is a big part of my daily life now, and I also expect that there will be more various unexpected inventions in the future.
