There's no doubt that the standard of living today is much higher than it was in the past.
From housing to technology, people now enjoy far more comfort, safety, and convenience in daily life.

A big reason for this change is the rapid development of technology and improved infrastructure.
Things like central heating, air conditioning, internet access, and home appliances have become basic necessities, not luxuries.

For example, in the past, people often lived without proper heating or indoor plumbing.
Winters were tough, and access to clean water wasn’t always guaranteed.
But nowadays, people live in well-insulated homes with hot showers, underfloor heating, and even smart thermostats that adjust automatically. That kind of comfort was unimaginable a few generations ago.

All in all, the difference in lifestyle between past and present is striking.
While the past had its own charms, it's hard to deny that modern advancements have made daily life much more comfortable and dignified for most people.
