The life in this country 50 years ago.on the one hand a 50 year period for the country is not very long but on the other hand great changes have been rapidly taking place in this country since the 70s. what are these changes? first of all i'd like to mention the development of new technologies in modern society, for example wireless connection, appearance of the mobile phones. for people from that time it was fantastic but for all of us its quite an ordinary thing today. then we can't stand mentioning   the internet that is a necessary thing almost everywhere nowadays and it's difficult to imagine how people lived, worked  and studied without computers at that time.well, people smoked more than now. they ate less vegetable and fruit. good news people live longer nowadays than they lived 50 years ago. bad news is that the difference between the life of the rich and the poor became much more than it was earlier. to my mind, on the whole  the life in this country became more complicated than it was 50 years ago, but more challenging and interesting. жизнь в этой стране 50 лет назад.с одной стороны 50-летний период для страны это не много, но с другой стороны большие перемены, стремительно происходят в этой стране с 70-х годов. каковы эти изменения? прежде всего хотелось бы отметить развитие новых технологий в современном обществе, например, беспроводной связи, появление мобильных телефонов. для людей того времени это было фантастическим, но для всех нас это вполне обычное дело сегодня. затем, мы не можем не упоминуть интернет;   это вещь необходимая практически везде в наше время и трудно представить, как люди жили, работали и учились без компьютеров в то время. что ещё? люди раньше курили больше, чем сейчас. они ели меньше овощей и фруктов. хорошая новость: продолжительность жизни стала больше сейчас. плохая новость в том, что существенно повысилась разница в уровне жизни богатых и бедных. на мой взгляд, жизнь в этой стране теперь стала более сложной, чем она была 50 лет назад, но более интересной ( новым технологиям).
