We may have things that make our lives easier, but we're working more than ever, and cramming more things into our days. I saw a news report some time ago that stated this. While we don't have to wash our clothes on a washboard in a lake, and we don't have to go outside to an outhouse to use the bathroom in the middle of winter, we are very busy, as a society.

We also have more stress, some say. We certainly have more issues to deal with. I'm not saying life wasn't harder "back then"; I don't know. But life still isn't a smooth ride.
