Things have changed. My grandmother complains about how things have changed, and she says that life used to be better. Families aren't families the way they used to be. Everyone's divorced. If a husband and his wife are having problems with their marriage, they don't stay together anymore. And mothers used to stay home and take care to their children, but not anymore. Everyone's working. No one has time for children anymore. And the cars! No one walks anymore; everybody drives. We used to walk five miles to school everyday, even under the rain. And, in the school, the children don't have to think anymore. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract. multiply and divide using our heads. Kids don't use their heads anymore: they use calculators. Computers have taken control over our lives also. People don't seat around a tree at night to tell stories anymore.
