‘Life is more stressful today than in the past’. Do you agree?

Many people believe that life today is more stressful than ever before, but is this really true? In my opinion, there has always been stress in people’s lives, but the type of stress has changed.
In the past, people were stressed as a result of different things. It is a fact that many people had large families and little money. In addition, people have less health care than they do today. People had to work very long hours and they often had no holidays. To my mind, this implies that life was extremely stressful in the past.
Today, technology has made our lives easier. However, I think that it has also brought a different stress into our lives. Because of technology, life has become faster and faster. We are never alone and we are always rushing somewhere. The world is a very busy and noisy place.
In conclusion, although I agree that modern life is stressful, I also think that people in the past faced many problems. To my mind, life isn’t more stressful today, the stress is just different.
