I agree. And if we went back to how we lived in the 1950's we'd all be a lot better off.....or would we.....?

Those are some good tips. Especially about cleaning your inbox. I did mine a while back, I couldnr believe all the garbage that was on there. @ Maud, I was a young adult in the 50's, and in most ways it was a better time but in some ways it was not. I often thought I would like to live a hundred years ago, but if that was the case I would be dead or blind or in a wheelchair. I had a rare disease when I was seven years old, a bone rotting thing and it would have been incureable at that time and I had to have cataract surgery a few years ago which wasnt possible a hundred years ago. Things like that are something to think about when we start wishing to be in the past.

In many ways, yes, there wouldn't be as much obesity as people were out all day and walking to and from work and school. but the downside is we would be without a lot of the technology we depend on.

I guess that this hierarchy of tips would be also useful for future generations. But there is nothing to change since prevoius century for life improving - we are going nowhere and the end of this road is close. So I'm agree that we should change our personal life and the beginning is yours the sixth tip.

I heard yesterday that Dean Swift said "the best doctors are Dr Diet, Dr Quiet, and Dr Merryman" ... in other words eat sensibly, get plenty of rest & regular belly laughs or as they say 'moderation in everything especially moderation'!

I prefer to follow the advice of the learned Doctors' Feelgood, Strangelove, Marten and Who.

^ We would survive of course but life would be very different- no phones, internet, credit cards, deliveries, cars etc, could you live like that? I certainly couldnt..

It would be rough to be without all those things, except credit cards. I could do very well without them But the bright side is, we would have time for more reading.

Yeah, sure. I could live like that. I never talk on the phone, don't need the internet. Too young for credit cards and the 1950s did have cars. Ever read the book Christine?
Besides, we wouldn't know any better.
