Answer:
The years 1902 and 2002 have their similarities and differences, but in general, the world is much different. Reasons for wars, technology, and people have all changed dramatically. One can only imagine what the world will be like in 2102, because of the amount of change seen in just these 100 years.
Changes
Much has changed since the year 1902, both for good and for bad. Today people have a completely different lifestyle than the people of 100 years ago. Things that are common place today were unheard and unthought of at the beginning of the last century. These positive and negative changes have a daily effect on our lives.
As we can all see, the last century has had its good and bad points, but, in my opinion, the good outweighs the bad. We can all consider ourselves fortunate to have come so far. The improvements of the twentieth century came with a price, but it was a small price to pay.

Life has changed
Back in the 1900s life was not the same as today. Most people would get up at dawn to do there chores. Some of the chores were milking cows, collecting eggs, and cutting firewood. The children would get ready for school and most of them would walk a mile or two to get to school. The basic subjects were math, reading, and writing. After school they would help their parents around the house.
The average house had two or three rooms. The kitchen would have a sink, a wood burning stove and table and chairs. Since there was no electric refrigerators they used an ice box or an ice house to store your foods. When the chores were done you would have dinner. Most of the food was grown in the garden like tomatoes, onions, carrots, peppers and potatoes. At dark they would make sure the animals were put away. The children would do their homework and go to bed, they never had much time to play.
Today we don't have to work as much as they did back then and we have more time to play. We have electric, cars and electric stoves so everything is a little bit easier.

Contrasting and Comparing
If I wanted to compare 1902 to 2002, this is how it would start. The year of 1902 is alike and different from 2002.
The similarities are that the men had to work hard for the money to take care of the family and keep them alive. Also, the women stayed home and watched the children and some women would crochet blankets or weave things. But now the difference between 1902 to 2002 is in 1902, the things like food cost a lot less than 2002; for example, our bread in 2002 cost about $1.50 to $2 dollars, but in 1902 their bread probably would've cost 5 to 10 cents. But now in 2002, all of our food and how much we get paid for working is a lot more money than in 1902; it would've been a lot less money to buy food or how much money you got paid.
Also, in 1902 women almost always wore dresses and the men wore pants with suspenders. Now women wear skirts and shorts and men wear pants and sometimes long shorts. And that is the comparing and contrasting of 1902 to 2002.
Life 100 years ago
Life 100 years ago was very different from life today. One difference was their elementary schools. Children went to local neighborhood schools. There was usually one teacher that taught all grades from first to seventh or eighth grade. The schools were one room. There was a blackboard in the front of the room. Instead of water fountains, they had a bucket of water and a tin cup to dip it with. The schools were heated by pot-belly stoves. Children bought their own books. There was no electricity, so the sun was their light.
Shopping was different, too. They didn't have big department stores like we have today. Most people grew their own food and made their own clothes. Other things that they needed came from the local store. Transportation was by horse and buggy. They didn't have cars. For long distance travel they went by train because there was no airplanes. They did have the telephone, but most people didn't have one in their own home. When they needed to make a call, they went to the local store.
There were no radios, televisions or computers. People got news by word of mouth or by newspapers. In our area we had the Daily Courier. In 1902 it became a daily newspaper, up until then it was a weekly paper.
In our local area most people made a living working in coal mines, saw mills, farming, and some owned their own businesses. They couldn't travel a long way to work, so most of them worked close to home.
On Sunday, almost everyone went to church. People only did work that needed to be done, such as feeding animals and milking cows. No businesses were opened. This was the day they spent with family. In the last 100 years, there have been a lot of inventions to make our life easier. But, in our local community the important things like family and friends have stayed the same.
