“Life is speeding up. Everyone is becoming unwell.” This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unwell 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 telephone 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.
Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps that is 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 Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phone.
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, been-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.
“生活节奏在加快。每个人都开始感到不适。”这听起来很像是现代人说出的话,但是,实际上这是个生活在公元53年罗马的一位感到不适的人写下的。
我们都热爱新发明。它们令人兴奋、惊喜,甚至可以改变我们的生活。
然而,这些发明真的提高了我们的生活品质吗?
想象一下:你迫不及待地在电脑上完成你的作业。你的手机响了,屏幕上弹出了一条来自朋友的QQ讯息,手机的铃声开始越来越大。忽然之间电脑白屏,你所有的辛苦都白费了。现在,你得熬夜把作业赶完了。
发明加快了我们的生活节奏,同时也让我们感到压力和疲惫。你觉得是什么原因使得住在远离喧嚣的城市,没有电话,没有汽车,甚至没有电的人们看起来反而更幸福?也许是因为他们过着简单的生活吧。

英国的一个家庭“穿梭时光”,为了一探究竟不用现代的发明生活会如何。祖父母,和他们的女儿,还有外孙,10岁的本杰明,7岁的托马斯,在上世纪40年代的房子里住了9个星期。他们没有洗衣机,微波炉,电脑和电话。
祖母,林恩说:“你拥有越多的东西,生活就变得越难。”孩子们说他们也没有以前那么爱打架了。他们说很可能是因为没那么多值得争抢的东西了,比如他们的电脑。本杰明还发现他的祖母不再是以前那个爱赶时髦,总是喝酒的外婆,而变成了一个爱做饭的人。
