Transportation makes it easier to move from one place to another. Cars, boats, trains, and airplanes all make moving easier in the modern world. Before these technological advances moving to another continent, country, or even state was very difficult. With these advances trips that used to take months or weeks can now take only a few days or hours.
Cell phones make it easier to interact with each other as well as move to a new place. Before phones were invented talking to a person far away meant writing them a letter and mailing it to them. It took a long time for people to get these letters so communicating with people was much harder. Today not only do we have cell phones where we can call a person who is far away, we can also text, face time, or email them just with our cell phones. In the modern world cell phones are so advanced they can do almost anything you need it to. Cell phones have access to the internet and with the push of a button you can buy a plane ticket. Cell phones have made moving to a new place easy because you can do almost everything you need to on your phone, including house hunting!
Computers make it easy for us to interact with one another also. In the modern world computers can also be a communication device. Emailing, video chatting, or instant messaging are all a click away with a computer. The internet has many ways to communicate not only with friends and family but with people from all over. News websites can give you information about current events happening anywhere in the world.
