But they said the late generation is happier than the current generation may be because people back then can genuinely spend time with their loved ones, unlike today, so many things that keeping us a way to communicate better with our loved ones. People today also have a lot of pressure and stress compared to the late generation, these were the negative things that this technology had brought to us. Anyway, I will not tackle the negative effects but the positive things that this technological advancement had given us.
Why lifestyle today is better than the late generation with the effects of theological innovations?
There are many things that this technological advancement had given us, it is very beneficial to us making our lives today is easier than it was before.
Easier to connect with our loved one's and friends
Easy to learn new skills
Easy to find solutions for some minor problems
Easy to send money using online wallets
Easy to find extra income using the internet
In the digital age, digital money was created.
Easy to connect with loves ones and friends
The late generation has the hardest way to connect with their loved ones who works far away from them, the only way to keep in touch with family and friends before is by sending them letters, they write manually and bring it to the mailing company such as post office. It takes a lot of time before the letters arrived.
While today we have a lot of social media apps that can connect us easily with our family and friends such as Facebook, IG, Twitter, and the likes. As time evolved, we have video calling features via Skype, Messenger and some can even have online conferences via Zoom and Google Meet.
We are fortunate right?
Easy to learn new skills
Some don't have a degree background, or cannot afford to go to training and seminar but they are eager to learn new skills that they can use for future purposes. Before, it's hard to learn new skills because they lack resources on how to do it.
Right now, it's way easier to learn new skills by watching some YouTube guide videos. Some doesn't need to attend seminar or schooling if they can easily understand and follow the video easily instructions and details.

Easy to find solutions to some minor problems
The late generation doesn't have much knowledge especially if they don't finish their studies. People are so naive back then because they don't have any free access to learn something to find solutions to minor problems.
With the current generation, it's easy to find some solutions to minor problems with the help of the internet. For example, a first-time mother doesn't know anything about how to be a mother at first but with the help of the internet, we can easily search for some remedies for some minor problems. There are also a lot of YouTube videos we can watch.
For a woman who doesn't know how to cook, it's easy to find Thevideo recipes on Youtube, then voila you can be your chef cook in your home!
Easy to send money using online wallets
The remittance center has been there for ages helping us to send money to our family who lives far away.
With the current situation that online wallets have been created, we can also send money to our loved ones and friends with one tap of our wallets. It's a lot easier now with the online banking system as well, it's now easy to fund our online wallet without going to remittances (but I don't use online banking tho, for safety purposes).
Easy to find extra income using the internet
Before people only rely on their job when it comes to the financial aspect because they don't have any extra income unlike now.
With the rampant spread of online sites where we can earn, it's easy for us to find extra income.
Some even work at home by doing freelance works with the help of internet connections, they don't have to deal with crowds, daily travel with traffics and they can work at their time preferences.
The digital age, where digital money was also created
We are now in a digital age where digital money was also created, what is this? Well, that's Cryptocurrencies. It is called a cryptocurrency because it was powered by “cryptography”, series of numbers and letters that are hard to guess, or a mathematical problem. It is decentralized meaning it doesn't have any middle man to transact transactions, such as banks and government. It was all done on the internet, transactions recorded in the ledger with the help of blockchain technology which means “chain of transactions”. Who will confirm the transactions? Node operators, it's a set of computer programmed to mine the blocks. These node operators are often called miners.
Although some digital assets act like digital gold such as Bitcoin, which was supposed to be digital money when Satoshi Nakamoto created it, Bitcoin Cash continued the vision.
Isn't it amazing? Bitcoin Cash is the future digital cash that will be used by many if it will be adopted massively worldwide, r any other coins that have the same mechanism.
Closing Thoughts
This era is more fortunate than it was before, and for sure technology itself is also evolving. Right now AI (Artificial Intelligence) is created, we will never know the one we are talking about in some customer services are robots.
The sad part is that the more the world evolves, the Earth slowly damaging harmed by these technological innovations. The life span of people also slowly getting lower as everything is instant.
But I bet the late generation is healthier and happy than the generation today, they are not exposed to radiation caused by the gadgets we used. Happier because they cannot be influenced by social media toxicity and the pressure is lower than today.
