hardly used to put batteries in the TV remote, but today there are hundreds of channels available to watch.

This

applies to our choice of shopping brands and eateries as well, where there is an entire range of options. On social circles, we used to make friends at school, but nowadays there is an addition in the form of social networking apps which are used to make friends leading to more friendship options.

choices in career. Today we have more professions than ever before. Take a YouTuber

This

profession was not even imaginable two decades ago. Similar impact has been observed on businesses as well.

For example

, Uber, where a new mobile app helps to connect passengers to cabs. In terms of higher education, if you visit a University’s webpage, you will find hundreds of programs offered, which never used to be the case a few decades ago. All

this

leaves us with more options from which to choose. The fact of having more choices is not deniable and it has provided us more flexibility in life.

However

For example

, people who have taken subscriptions of Netflix and Amazon often struggle to decide which TV to watch and start looking for recommendations.

Similar trend

A similar trend

is observed in terms of professional career, where youngsters keep discovering their passions because they have more options, and often end up wasting substantial time of their lives. To summarize, I would agree that we have more choices, but it is important to make a good use of it by quickly filtering out the redundant options and choose the optimal one.
