Since 100 years ago, as the result of the human beings' effort, the environment has been changed a lot. Some areas like education haven been made some progress, but some areas nature environment still need to development. First of all, compared with 100 years ago, people really improve their lives from many aspects, for instance, education, medical, and science. More and more countries think the basic education is very important to the citizens. In China, government force each children who are over than 8-year-old and under than 16-year-old need to go to primary school and secondary school to taken the education. Recently, much more undergraduate students start to study post graduate program continuously, and more than 1million would graduate from university. This is an obviously progress in the education, because, before 100 years, the common people do not have the right to take the education, especially the girls. However, every one has the right and the enough funds to go to school and acquire knowledge and skills. Due to the progress of the education, more and more people could get the special skills to develop the science and medical. People who get the higher education could study and work out the better machine and medicine. The lasts medicine and medical machine could help doctors treat paints and overcome much more disease. Many disease can not kill people anymore. Unluckily, besides those developed areas mentioned above, there is also some areas still need to under controlled and development. For example, the population. As the progress made in the medical, doctors could treatment some difficult disease and save person's life. This is a good news for people to expand their lifetime, but it also brings a bad news that the larger population would damage this earth. Nowadays, the population in the whole world has brake up 70 million in 2013. That means, the source are decreasing with the increasing population at the same time. How can we promise that we could provide enough resource to our following generations. In addition, the environment pollution would be another area need be paid attention. Air, water, and other resources have been polluted through the humans' activities. Compared the environment with the 100 years ago, there is nothing worth to be proud. More and more rivers and forests disappeared, and the air has been become hard to breath. Like the Beijing's sky, it is hard to show the blue and the air is full of poison to damage people's health. Therefore, society really make a lot of progress and lead us lives to be better and convenient. However, we could not ignore those areas which still need to be controlled. The technology should help us change into continuous developing.
