     "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 AD 53 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 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 simpler 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 Thomans, 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 boys 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, beer-drinking granny, to one who
cooked things"
