New Technology

During our life now, we are surrounded by different kinds of technologies for different things. For example, I am using a laptop to type my blogger assignments and I am using electricity to power my laptop and to have the lights on. A hundred years ago, without these technologies, what would life be in that time?
Basically they would have to do everything themselves. Without the help of technologies, they would have to do everything in a different way from us. Take light for example, a hundred years ago, there are no electricity (even if there is, not a lot of people have it), people have to use candles to light up their way during night time. They can't communicate with each other comparing what we can do now. In our life, we just use a cell phone to call a friend or a family member. A hundred years ago, they don't have cell phones. They would need to use mail to communicate with each other. It takes more time and you would have to wait for the other person to reply, and wait for the mailman to deliver it to you. With all these technologies around us, it had made our life easier, but technologies are not always good for us. If we all rely on technologies to do things for us, we will end up not knowing any thing because we never need to do it.
