Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell. This may sound like someone would say today. But in fact, unknown person who lived in Rome in AD(公元) 53 wrote it.
We all love inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?
You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ from your friend on the screen, the from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer breaks and you lose all your homework. Now you have to up all night to get it done. How happy do you feel?
Inventions have speeded up our lives much that people often feel stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far from noisy cities, who have no telephones, cars, even electricity(电) often to be happy? Perhaps they live simpler lives.
One family in the UK “went back in time” to see life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, their daughter and grandsons Tom, 10 and Jim, 7, spent 8 weeks in a 1940s house. They had no machine, fridge, computer or mobile phones.
The grandmother, Linda said, “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.” The boys said they fought less. Probably because there was to fight for, such as their computer. And they noticed that their grandmother had changed from fashionable to one who liked cooking things.
