"nowadays" vs "in modern days"

The phrase 'nowadays' is the correct and commonly used term to refer to the present time. 'In modern days' is not a typical expression in English and sounds awkward. Therefore, 'nowadays' is the appropriate choice in this comparison.

This is correct

The use of "nowadays" is limited to instances when a comparison is being made between the present and a prior time in history. (The comparison can be stated in the sentence, or it can be implied.)
