Life has been Changed !

Now and fifty years ago

What's the difference between leisure time all those years ago and leisure time nowadays? Well, for a start, we now have all kinds of technological devices ipods, DVDs, CD players- to give us access to music and films, and everyone seems to have at least one computer at home for more games, music and films, as well as talking to friends online.


With all these things available, are we actually happier ? isn't it true that we now have more online friends than real friends and ''chatting'' has become something we do on the computer rather than face-to-face? Can you remember when you last had an evening out with friends, or went to a concert or the cinema or for a walk? And as for sitting with the family watching television, why should we do that when we can watch any film or programme in our own room on our own computer?.


The fact is, our world has changed and technology plays an increasing important part in every aspect of our daily lives, so that we no longer need other people to fill up our free time. In the long run this may prove to be a good thing, because as families become smaller and people have less time for each other we can learn to be more indpendent of each other even in our free time
