Life in 2010 versus Life in 1910
Life in 2010 versus Life in 1910
What it must have been if we would have born a hundred years ago? There must have been a big round lawn with rooms on all four sides in a village. On one side there is an open area where our cattle are kept. The faint kip clop of horse coming from the street indicates that our father is coming along with his brothers after ploughing fields for a whole day. Our grandfather sits in the centre of the lawn as the chief executive of the family. Our father along with his other brothers enters the home. Say hello to father and gives him the details of what they have done today. My mother along with the wives of my uncles prepares dinner in the kitchen under the guidance and supervision of my old grandmother. All the children set the anchors to the cattle. The dinner is ready now. Everybody sits together and chats while enjoying the dinner. After dinner the girls of the family set the beds and everybody goes asleep. We say good night and go asleep peacefully. What a happy family that must be, full of love, affection and harmony.
Back in the hectic world of 2010, we live in a small flat in a congested city. A small busy family, I come after playing soccer in the evening. Make …show more content…
coffee for myself and go to my room. My mom comes and after getting fresh, goes to kitchen. Dinner is ready now. Mom has already taken her dinner; father has not arrived, so I have to eat dinner alone. Now I am tired but I have to do my homework. I go to my room and do my homework. Now father has arrived but I am very tired, I can’t go to see him. I am going asleep. And hence a hectic day ends. What a boring family this is.
It is a phenomenon that the life must have been very peaceful and full of love in 1910. The family was a very strong social entity. Grandfather was the chief executive of the family. All his sons live with him. The grandmother is the caretaker of the family. The children help their elder in small routine works. Everybody loves each other. The younger respect their elders. Everybody lives in peace and love. Outside the family there was a strong sense of society. People knew and helped each other in hour of need. The sense of society was a very strong factor in the life of the man of 1910.
But where we are today? The divorce rate in London was 1 out of 1000 marriages a hundred years ago. In 2010 it is 1 out of 2. The word family is losing its meanings as well as the strength. No love for each other, no respect for elders, no affection in gestures, no humbleness in expressions. We are grown very materialistic. We measure everything on the scale of money and wealth. Moral values are long gone. There is no sense of society. Everybody means his own business. Nobody has time to think what his neighbor needs. All we care about is our own bellies. The concept of social life is totally lost in the life of the human of 2010.
The modes of entertainments of the people in 1910 were mostly reading books, playing different healthy sports and other activities which were done in the form of teams with other friends.
But today our entertainments are changed to playing games on computer or X-Box or watching movies and series. Another important problem that we have developed over the last 100 years is the lost of nature. We live in cities full of smoke and wastes. Contrary to this, a century ago there was quite a fascinating kind of environment. No cars, no busses, no factories, no plastic wastes, a lot of trees, grass and fresh air. All this make the past much better than the
present.
But there is another side of the picture, the technological side. We have a lot of facilities which we did not had a hundred years ago. Now we can travel hundreds of miles in hours, we can do complex calculations in seconds; in fact we have made life much comfortable for us. The development in science and technology has made our lives much easier, comfortable and fast. But the price we paid for this comfort is very high. We have traded off our love, affection, family, social life, nature and respect for humanity just for this comfort. We have missed some of the best blessings of God in this race of comfort. Now we all want those things back but we have come so far away that the return is nearly impossible.
The life has totally changed in the past hundred years. Our way of living, our way of thinking, our ideologies, our emotions, our relationships and the whole society has totally been changed in the past 100 years. We got many new things and lost many old one. But unfortunately we lost some very precious things in this course of history.
