The world today is vastly different from previous eras. In fact, life has become increasingly challenging and completely vary in many aspects. Therefore, I strongly agree that life today is easier and more comfortable than it was when grandparents were children because of the technology and new innovations which made life so easier.
First and foremost, the advent of technology and the internet have provided an opportunity for the pervasive problems to culminate the solutions and solving many obstacles that many people face in the past. For example, nowadays if someone wants to make a research about any topics, he might just go online and search for it and immediately all the resources will be available and he can choose among them whatever he wants. Contrariwise, in the past, people should go to a public library or library in a college to search for a topic they need, and they might even not find a lot of resources. Consequently, technology and internet makes today's life so much easier.
Secondly, new innovations open a wide door in front of people to discover new ways to make life uncomplicated. New medical devices have an incredible impact to lengthen the life range for people, and new medications also. For example, in the past there is no cure for many diseases like HIV, Cancers, and the list goes on. Today, there is a new medicine every day. People can follow up with their doctor to check and every day there is something new. Needless to say, medical devices can cough the disease to early and that help people to live a normal and long life. As a result, new discoveries can help people a lot and make life much easier and healthier.
Due to the aforementioned reasons, I adamantly agree that life today is easier and comfortable than in the past.

We are expecting: No. of Words: 350 while No. of Different Words: 200
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:

para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.

So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:

reasons == advantages or

reasons == disadvantages

for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.

or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
