The document discusses how modern luxuries and technologies have improved the lives of even poor people compared to kings in the past. It provides examples such as: - Anyone can now have access to hot running water, global communication, the world's information, transportation, and banking with just a smartphone. - The costs of electricity, water, communication, transportation, and work have dramatically decreased due to technologies, free services, and reduced marginal costs of production. - In contrast, kings in the early 1900s required many servants and resources just for basic needs like bathing, communication, education, and travel that are now easily accessible to all.
