I do not think that living in the past, and more especially during the Victorian Era would make us happier. I have to admit that we are really living in a privileged world and we are not asking more. When you analyze that period, hygienic condition were bad. They had a lot of diseases such as Syphilis or Smallpox. When we wanted, at that time, cure our disease; we were obligated to go through a mediocre help. They didn’t have the chance that we have today, to benefit from really good hospital and a medicine that considerably grew up. One really important aspect of our time is the emerging technology. Now, we can easily join someone or get somewhere faster than ever. We were born in it and we certainly don’t want to get out of it. For my part, I use my phone everyday.. I absolutely don’t know how am I going to do without my precious little baby. With that said, I can say that our era is unquestionably more pleasant and happier to live.
