Every year we make new progresses in technology and we think that this makes our lives easier. However, sometimes such advances only make our lives more difficult as we are expected to do more and more in the time available.
Now that transports are faster, we may visit another country and return all within a couple of days, which is very tiring. Travel is no longer something to be enjoyed.
Certainly, travelling long distances doesn't cost as many money as it did in the past. However, this encourages people to travel more frequently, which causes more pollution.
On the other hand, a travel does help people to gain more knowledge of other places and cultures. We can get a lot of information from books, for example, but it will never have the same impact as actually seeing something for ourselves.
