Modern

Modern means something that is new, recent, or up-to-date, and connec ted to the present time rather than the past. It can describe buildings, ideas, tools, technology, clothes, lifestyles, or ways of thinking that are designed for today’s world. For example, a modern house might have simple designs, large windows, smart appliances, or energy-saving features. People may also have modern thinking, which means they are open to new ideas and not limited by old beliefs. Modern things often make life easier, faster, and more comfortable, but some people prefer traditional ways because they feel more familiar.
