Our lifestyle seems completely different from the lifestyle in the last century, however, after we read the book Our Town which was written by Thornton Wilder, we discover that our lifestyle is different with them but not completely, we still relate to some parts.
After 100 years, there are plenty of visible differences when we compare the lifestyle in the 20th century with the lifestyle in 21th century, for instance, there were no phones, no computers, no televisions and no advanced devices in the past.
