Advancements in technology have made it much easier to do many things around the house. For example, cleaning clothes used to be a tedious job where you'd sit next to a water bucket and rub it on a piece of wood or metal, while nowadays you just put it into a machine and can do whatever you want while it washes. Communication with others was made instant through the use of internet and we can get information about anything rapidly, unlike earlier days where people would have to send letters.
