Spanish. Lesson 76. El pretérito imperfecto. (V) Comparing things then and now. (Second Part)

Today's episode is a continuation of episode 75. During this second part of the story, we continue comparing things we used to do in the past with things we do now. As you know this tense is very useful to express this. 

"La forma en la cual trabajábamos también era muy diferente. Mis padres iban a la oficina todos los días y se comunicaban con sus amigos en persona o por teléfono. Hoy, muchas personas trabajan desde casa, participan en reuniones virtuales y colaboran en proyectos a través de plataformas en línea. Antes, los documentos se escribían a máquina y se archivaban en grandes armarios. Ahora, guardamos todo en la nube y compartimos archivos digitales en segundos.
La educación también ha cambiado significativamente. Antes, íbamos a clase y escribíamos con un bolígrafo, lápiz y papel. Los profesores utilizaban pizarras y libros. Ahora, muchos estudiantes atienden clases online o en línea, utilizan iPads y acceden a recursos educativos digitales.
La tecnología ha mejorado muchos aspectos de nuestra vida pero a veces extraño la simplicidad del pasado. Disfrutábamos más de la compañía de las personas y pasábamos menos tiempo con dispositivos electrónicos. La vida era menos acelerada y valorábamos más los momentos cara a cara".
