Compared to
life
 as it was 100 years ago, some people argue that it has greatly improved at present. While I agree with
this
 idea to a great extent, I
also
 believe that many aspects of the
life
 were better in the past. Without a doubt,
life
 is a lot better now. A good example of
this
 is the greater longevity that humans enjoy today.
This
 means people spend much longer on the
planet
 as compared to their ancestors. Much of the global population has access to improved health care systems and education. People are much more informed about the importance of sanitation and
this
also
 adds years to their
life
. The quality of
life
 has
also
 improved over the decades. There have been no major wars in the
last
 50 years. People spend more time with
family
Suggestion
the family
 now than before. There are new methods of entertainment. As the
world
 has seen the shift from the industrial revolution to service industries, more people are now free during the weekends, when they can enjoy these new modes of entertainment. With globalization, almost every corner of the
planet
 has become accessible and each year has seen an increase in the number of tourists around the
world
. Globalization has
also
 enabled people to access technologies from around the
world
. These technologies can be used for entertainment, productivity or relaxation. Because of the aforementioned facts, we can definitely say that the
life
has changed
Suggestion
changed
 in
last 100 years
Suggestion
the last 100 years
 for the betterment of the people.
However
, there is a downside to
this
 progress. The quality of water and air has decreased over the years because of pollution. Many species of birds and animals have disappeared from the
planet
 due to human activity. To conclude,
life
 has improved greatly as
human race
Suggestion
the human race
 has made significant progress in most aspects of the
life
 in the
last
 100 years.
However
, the same advancements have
also
 adversely affected our
life
Suggestion
lives
 and
planet
 in the form of pollution, contamination, and global warming. People need to ensure that new technologies benefit the
planet
 as well, so that we will have an even better
world
 after 100 years.
