<p>Topic: Are changes that make our lives easier also make our lives better?</p>
<p>Changes are made to something usually to improve its current condition. Hence, life becomes better when it is not monotonous. Although some might say that too many advancements can inhibit human capabilities this is not true because easing some stress only gives more thinking room for humans, which consequently makes life improved (either emotionally or in a more physical way).</p>
<p>When African Americans were at the status of slaves in the South, life could not be worse. However, during the Civil War as Lincoln passed the Emancipation Proclamation, things began to change for blacks. Those who were found by the Northerners after a Confederate defeat could be temporarily freed. This change provided a hope not only for African Americans but also for Nothern abolitionists that one day slavery could be eliminated from America altogether. Indeed, a few years later slavery was abolished and as more free blacks immigrated to the industralized North, life tremendously soared for them.</p>
<p>Most people would argue that when Henry Ford introduced his assembly line during the Industrial Revolution, it did not help the workers. Instead none of them were knowledgeable of the overall working process they were engaged in and this made them incapable of being independent. On the contrary, the assembly line provided jobs for men who had lost their farms (due to the Enclosure Movement) and enabled the country's factories to increase their product rate by four times! Therefore, this change not only cause the good of individuals but also the prosperity of the country.</p>
<p>Just like a computer needs a compatible upgrade, and a growing child needs comfortable clothes, life also requires easy and innovative changes so that we can enjoy it to the fullest, because even though we could continue to live in the past or the present, what different would it make if the future did not provide novel (and thus, improved) ways to experience it?</p>
