Who would say that one can live now in a city without a cooker, a vacuum cleaner or a fridge? What are you going to do without a PC nowadays? Do all these tools make us lazy and spoiled? No, and no once again. But they let us have more spare time to think about other problems that everyday life puts before us. And we should thank the progress! Here, I wouldn't say about the bad side of the progress, as it is not the right place.
