There are some major differences in the way that the time and lifestyle of living has changed between our generation and the generation that our great grandparents had lived in.

The ease of traveling is completely different now than it was back then. You can walk outside of your house get in your car and go anywhere that you want in this world. Yes our great grandparents could drive cars, but now cars are so much faster and there are
