1.      Is modern life "always" better than it was in the past?

Modern life is not always better than it was in the past because many things that seem to be benefits can become disastrous. One example of this is the cell phones. Cell phones are an amazing creation that has brought our world together through communication. Cell phones also make things convenient. We are able to communicate with relatives around the world in seconds, bringing us closer together with our family. Cell phones also help the military and business. They make communications of business with other countries easy. Unfortunately there has been a discovery that relates the use of cell phones to cancer. The radiation from cell phones is supposable becoming dangerous to people who use them a lot. This very useful tool of communication can become the cause of death to people who use them around the world. Without cell phones we would not be able to communicate as fast or as much with others. The world would be a different place; we would be in our own worlds without the communications cell phones gave us. This tool of communication is proof that not all modern life is better than the past. We learn that every part of modern life can have its down side.
