Yes, I think people use more electricity now than before. With the rise of electronic devices like smartphones, tablets, and computers, people are constantly charging their gadgets. Plus, more homes have air conditioning and heating systems, which use a lot of power. Also, there are more electrical appliances in homes, like smart TVs and kitchen gadgets, which all add to electricity consumption.

On the other hand, some people might argue that electricity usage hasn't increased as much due to greater awareness of energy conservation. Many households now use energy-saving appliances and LED lighting, which consume less power. Government regulations also promote renewable energy sources, which help reduce overall electricity consumption. Some people are even adopting minimalist lifestyles to cut down on their energy use.
