But now kids don’t use their heads anymore; instead, they use calculators(计算器).
Most families have computers now. In the past we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don’t often eat home-cooked food.

Life used to be simple, but it isn’t anymore.”
