Standard of Liveing over Time

Standard of Living over Time

Today's Standard of Living have change a lot. My grandfather told me that many things aren't invention when he was young. Such as smartphone, HDTV, computer, xbox and so on. But today almost young people have these things. He said people have a big problem about food. There were severe famine in his hometown. People didn't have enough food, let alone go out to eat. I can't imagine how hard the life is in that years. The technology was underdeveloped in that years, so they didn't have AC. And things were very cheap because people's wage was so low. it just 2 RMB per day. Because the wage was so low, so people didn't have much money for entertainment. They always went to forest to hunt. He said this is the most happy thing for entertainment when he was young. When i asked him was there anything better about life back then, he told me the environment and people's health. Even though technology is so advanced at today, but more pollution are existing. He think today's standard of living is higher than he was my age, because people can use more advanced technology, buy a lot of goods to make the life be comfortable. And a lot of place can use for entertainment.

In my opinion，people's wages go up, even though the prices of goods also go up, but the real cost of living goes down than before, and the technology develops so fast. So i think these cause the standard of living to rise over time.
