La vida hoy y hace mucho tiempo
La vida cambia con el tiempo. La forma en que las personas viajan, se comunican y viven hoy es diferente a la de hace mucho tiempo.
Ejemplo: Hace mucho tiempo la gente escribía cartas y viajaba a caballo; hoy enviamos mensajes de texto y viajamos en automóvil — un gran cambio a lo largo del tiempo.
