Consumerism: Over the past century, commerce has become much more globalized, resulting in an increase of goods and services, lower prices, and more options.
Environmental: Our efforts in preserving our planet and the species within it have increased. The human race has embraced a cleaner, more sustainable existence.

These are just a few of the advancements we’ve seen over the last 100 years. What’s truly amazing is that with the advent of modern technology, these advancements have been able to be made within a shorter amount of time. It’s an inspiring thought that the world will have continued unprecedented progress as we move forward into the next 100 years. We have so much to be proud of.
