[Antonmanov]

During human’s life, human being has suffered a lot of disasters but he has always been surviving. In fact, thousands years ago, human has lived less than now due to incurable illnesses, famine, lack of electricity and heat and etc. Conversely, nowadays he is definitely living longer which is by virtue of a lot of innovations, adaption to the inner world and wide horizon in the field of knowledge as a whole. So let’s proof the above statement.
First and foremost, one of the most important things that prolonged human life is the development of the medicine. Having not been invented the cure for malaria, a great deal of people would have died. Essential treatments for common illnesses not only alleviate the pain but also heal the particular disease. Moreover, a lot of medicaments were made in order to threaten our discomfort and aches; some of them are aspirin and analgin. However, it is true that there are some maladies that are still incurable such as AIDS.
Secondly, our life got much better when the electricity came to light. Not only was it a further field for another inventions later but it was also irreplaceable thing in industry and modern household. It affected millions of people providing them with light, heating and motoring power.
Thirdly, our field of knowledge become wider and wider. People learnt how to withdraw and process useful earth sources, cultivate different kinds of food and animals. This resulted in their daily diet and they began sorting out what they eat. What is more is improving the place for living. Influenced by the foregone eras people create more useful and comfortable buildings with an exquisite architecture.
In a nutshell, I would say that there are a lot of other things that enhanced our length of life, but here are some of the basic. Living without the development of the medicine, invention of the electricity or knowledge in a particular field, our lives would be burdensome and difficult to bear.
