This world is moving toward more development since its inception. Long days before people were living in caves and eating raw foods. When stone era moved forward then wooden homes cam and cooked food. Wooden era passed and semi developed era came; people became educated and followed many philosophies. Many years philosophical era, a developed era came and people reached the moon. Now we are in super developed era and moving towards exploration of new worlds. While getting a visible big edge on our fore fathers we got help of numerous branches of knowledge tree. These adding branches are technology, science, religion, economics, entertainment, social empowerment and many more. Growth of these areas of knowledge helps us to make our life considerably better than our fore fathers. One can say Our Fore fathers were better than their fore fathers and we our better than both.
Our developed world is the major fruit of technological development. Just before some centuries, a story became super hit that was the story of Ilaf lela. Ilaf lella was a story in which hero communicate to his heron having a virtual meeting in air. The story got highly famous because people amazed by the impossibility of airy visual communication. Inetrnat, is the real existence of that imaginary hero today. People can communicate,watch,write,read,learn,play and search instantly on the internat.All most all the knowledge of the world is present in the store room of internate,limitless,distanceless,most fastest and most developed symbol of technology up till now.
Communication, Letter took half a month to reach second corner of the same country. Patience of the receiver was inexpressible painful experience while waiting for the letter of any loved one. Often message was post time or expired caused tremendous loss, emotionally, economically and morally. Having access to telephone, fax, telegram, wirless, satlite and mobile made that painful wait a pleasurable feeling to get message on time and without wait.
Media, no check and balance on the crime and misconduct of powerful. Poor was the only victim of all laws, rules and exploitation. Now if the president of super power has a scandal with any female it turns into a trial. Media, not only an invisible hand to control the torrent of corruption of big floods it also give power to powerless streams to flow in the right path. Human rights, female rights, children rights and labour rights were some of the dark corner which are lime lighted by media of the day.
Religiously, when fore father started thinking about his existence then philosophies came that made fore fathers philosophers. Further, Divine religions gave the real definition of human and informed human about the secrets of universe that made fore fathers religious. Subsequently Scientific revolution shaded the clear picture of religion; he started believing on science and looses the focus on religion. Now we have balance of science and religion. As religion become the focal point of all school of thoughts firstly because scientist themselves proving the scientific theories wrong secondly science becomes the way to reveal the secrets of nature already told by the GOD.
Religion was either sideline or politically used by our fore fathers. As the case of USA colonization, where catholic and Protestants were at war with each other. Afghanistan, a region always used as a war field on the name of religion. Israel captured the native land of Palestine on the name of religion by claiming Jerusalem only their religious place. Now religious openly under discussion and people consider it a code of peaceful life not code of bloodshed. Religious fanatics are present in all religion and highly condemned by all the followers of religions.
Economically, fore fathers were hostages of limited opportunities. A large number of mans were compel to do the agriculture, some of them were trader and some are military man. Seasonal unemployment to formers, long and dangerous journeys to traders, frequent wars to military man were the hard part of their professions. Today, machines, airplanes and atomic bomb removed all previous hard hurdles faced by fore fathers. Free market economy also open up the doors of merit for all to do job of one's own taste and talent.
