Not long ago people believed that in the future we would work less, have more free time, and be more relaxed. But sadly this has not happened. Today we work harder, work longer hours, and are more stressed than ten years ago. We walk faster, talk faster, and sleep less than previous generations. And although we are obsessed with machines which save us time, we have less free time than our parents and grandparents had. But what is this doing to our health? People who live in cities are suffering from 'hurry sickness' - we are always trying to do more things in less time. As a result, our lives are more stressful. If we don't slow down, we won't live as long as our parents. For most people, faster doesn't mean better.
