You may believe that people in ancient times had a more “real” life. But whether life was more real now or in the past depends on how you look at it.

In the past, people didn’t have as much access to information. Most knowledge wasn’t written down. People didn’t know as much about important things like medicine and geography.

Life expectancy was shorter in the past. There was more disease and less medical knowledge. Also, people often went hungry if agriculture failed to produce enough food.

As society advanced, life improved. We now have more knowledge and better healthcare, and better agriculture.
