There was a time in human history when day to day life required difficult and challenging activities in order to meet basic human needs. Things had to be done out of necessity and survival due to limited tools and more safety nets.

Technological advances have made life easier as it relates to education, work life, travel, access to food, and communication (especially over long distances) to name a few.
