Some people believe that nowadays we have too many choices.

We are living in a

has become much bigger for individuals. Now each part of the
world
is accessible to everyone, barring few geopolitical constraints and global trade has upended the concept of accessibility to goods and services that were earlier limited to geographical boundaries.
This
accessibility has given

used to spend their entire

in the places they were born. One could argue that migration took place earlier too and whole countries were settled in by migrant populations. But those earlier migrations were supported by empires

of these

have been a boon to humanity as a whole and contributed immensely in various fields of sciences, technology and business. Even on a more micro level, globalisation and advancement in technologies have given us too many
