The most obvious change is the more advanced technology. This has hinder and helped in many areas such as transport, communication, and health. One hundred years ago, receiving information was slow, getting place to place was time consuming and living daily life was plain hard work. With no air travel, ships the only way of going overseas, sixty cars existing and the main way of transport been by horse drawn carriages, you could imagine the slow pace of the everything in 1901. Now in 2001 there are about 11,737,900 cars, air travel is at its best, and travelling by horses is basically non exsistinant.

Wages have also seen a major change with the average males weekly wage in 1915 being $5.65 and a women's wage only being under half of that of what a male earned. These days an average wage would be about $769.60. Women now earn 67% of what a males wage would be. Another modification came in the gender, which made up the work force.

On average a woman would give birth to 2.8 children, now on average it's 1.8. As well, the average family size dropped to 3.1(i.e mother, father and one child). As a result of enhanced procedures, reduction of major diseases, more advanced heath care, and better nutrition and immunisation, the infant mortality rate has decreasing by approximately 87% and the life expectancy of a male was 55 years, being 20 years less than today.
