Modern inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly.Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour.Aircraft cross the world a day,while computers operate at lightning speed.Indeed,the love of speed seems nener-ending.Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts(吹嘘）of saving precious seconds in handling tasks. All this saves time,but at a price.When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane,our bodies tell us so.We get the uncomfortable feeling known asjet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zone.Again spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers.Mobile phones also have their dangers according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains,a consequence we do not like to think about. However,what do we do with the time we have saved?Certainly not relax or so it seems.We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing,or even just one thing at a time.Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio,letting imagination take us into another world. There was a time when some people's lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the care of cattle.No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace,and in a familiar pattern.There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this.Yet before we do so,we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced:they farmed with bare hands,often lived close to hunger,and had to fashion tools from wood and stone.Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.

现代的发明已经奇迹般的加速了人们的生活.电动车在短短一个小时的时间就可以走上百英里.飞行器一天就可以穿越世界.而电脑更是一瞬间就可以跨越世界.确实,速度之爱看起来是永无止境的.每一年,都有更快的电动汽车推出.每一款新的电脑都吹嘘着可以在操作上节约宝贵的分分秒秒.
所有的这些时间的节约,都是要代价的.当我们在高速的飞机上横跨世界时所失去或得到了半天的时间时,我们的身体如是告诉我们.我们变得不舒服,这被称为时差综合症.我们的身体感觉到被留在另一个时区内.据一些科学家所说,在电脑前面待太久会导致手腕和手指的酸痛.手机也可能会给人带来危险.使用过度可能会对我们的大脑造成辐射,对于这个影响我们平时并没有考虑到.
然而,我们都用这些节省下来的时间做了些什么呢?当然不是像我们看上去的放松.我们已经习惯了连续的工作以至于很难停下来什么都不做.有时在同一时间只做一件事也觉得不自在了.或许,那些我们静静的听着收音机里的故事,让想象带着我们进入另一个神奇的世界的岁月已经远远的逝去了,
曾有过那么一段时间,一些人的生活就只是简单的献给了照顾耕牛和农耕.那里没有多重任务同时完成,他们的生活以一个更加悠闲的节奏进行着,以一个更加熟悉的形式展开着.有太多我们可能有的对于这样的生活的嫉妒和羡慕.
然而在我们羡慕嫉妒之前,我们也必须想到我们祖先们所面临的繁重的劳作：他们徒手劳作,常常过着食不果腹对生活,必须要从木和石头之中不断改进新的工具.现代的机器已经将人们那原始的工具和劳作方式中解放出来了.
