The man has always been fascinated by the mysteries of the unknown. It is the process of unveiling these mysteries that make him adventurous. Unfortunately for him, there are fewer mysteries to unveil today. Life has indeed become very comfortable consequently there is no scope for adventure in this modern world. The adventure was manifest in all spheres of human life during the medieval times when man lived on the strength of his physical prowess. This was the period when in his quest for supremacy, he waged great wars and made a big conquest. There were avenues for adventure in unveiling the mysteries of nature, in travel and sport.
It was also the age of discovery. The adventure was writ in the entire of discoveries ranging from the invention of engines, train, the aeroplane and even the discovery of new regions, tribes, planets, ocean and islands etc. Compared to this, the avenues of adventure in the modern age are very limited.
Ordinary men have become immortal of their making new discoveries of countries and places like Columbus discovering America and Vasco da Gama discovering India. In the field of education, sports and entertainment too, the advent of modernity has reduced the scope for adventure.
The modern age, in fact, has made us lazy. The emphasis is more on the use of mental power than physical strength. We are today accustomed to having all amenities at the flick of a button. This is one of the primary reasons as to why there is no scope for adventure in the modern world.

It is true now a days people just want to explore the virtual world but not the real world.In fact to find out something they are not interested in asking their parents or pondering over the books .They just open the internet and find.
We feel jealous if we see the life of people some 4 to 5 decades back. There was no hustle and bustle in their schedules or worries that we encounter in today's life. We often wonder that people back then were in much greater touch with mother nature and environment than we are today, the citizens of modern and hi-tech era do.
It is a fact and we cannot deny that we have completely lost genuine touch with nature and have become more engrossed in fathoming the ocean of viruality and that could be the reason why the possibility and probability for adventure is loosing from the soil in today's time.
Though the life of people of today's world have become much more easier and convenient but they do not find scope of adventure in their life. All places have been listed on maps, everything is available on google and internet, and thus there is no scope of exploring new things and places. People today want to leave behind the mental stress and dilemma they go through on every day basis and want to submerge themselves in the pool of utter gladness and enthusiasm where they can spend quality and quantity time with family, loved ones and especially with themselves.
