“Life is speeding up．Everyone is getting unwell．’’

This may sound like something someone would say today．But in fact，an unknown person who lived in Rome in 53AD（公元）wrote it．

    We all love new inventions．They are exciting，amazing and can even change our lives．

But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?

Picture this．You're rushing to finish your homework on the computer．Your mobile phone rings，a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen，the noise from the television is getting louder and louder．Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work．Now you have to stay up all night to get it done．How happy do you feel?

    Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave up feeling stressed（有壓力的）and tired．Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities，who have no telephones，no car，not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they live simple lives．

    One family in the UK went ” back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today．The grandparents，with their daughter，and grandsons Benjamin，10 and Thomas，7，spent nine weeks in a 1940s house．They had no washing machine，microwave，computer or mobile phones．

    The grandmother, Lyn，said，“The more things you have，the more difficult life becomes．”The boy said they fought less．Probably, they said，because there was less to fight over such as their computer．Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a” trendy（新潮人物），beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things”．
