People in the past relied on horses for transportation and candles for light, as well as fires for cooking and heating. Now, most use cars for long distances, electric lights and stoves, and play with electronic toys and games. Some in both eras still relied on more basic methods of travel, lighting, and heating due to lack of resources.

Like getting to school and home again.
Now we use cars to get
around especially for really
long distances for
example Queenstown and
Dunedin.

past some people still use
candles now because they
have no electricity.
We use lamps these days
but some poor people use
candles.

get the stove to work and
Light a fire to warm you.
We use electric stoves and
