One truth about modern life is that nobody has any time.___16___So let's try a simple thought experiment.Imagine that you came into possession of a magical new set of technologies that could automate or promote every single part of your job.
___17___Maybe you'd pick up a hobby or have more children,or learn to relax and enjoy yourself in the additional leisure.But what if I told you that you wouldn't do any of those things:You would just work the exact same amount of time as before.
___18___But there are simple reasons for this.
Better technology means higher expectations-and higher expectations create more work.For most of history,humans were forced to suffer from their own dirty and unpleasant substances.Most families' clothes were washed twice a year.The fleet of housework technologies that came into the world suddenly between the late-19th and mid-20th century created new norms(标准）of cleanliness －for our floors,our clothes,ourselves.
___19___Automatic washers and dryers raised our expectations for clean clothes and encouraged people to go out and buy new shirts and pants;housewives therefore had more loads of laundry to wash,dry,and fold.
In short,technology made it much easier to clean a house to 1890s standards.___20___They wanted a modern home-with dustless windowsills(窗台）and shiny floors-and this dustless shiny required a 40-to-50-hour workweek,even with the assistance of modern tools.
A. You are wasting your time.
B. This might seem impossible.
C. New norms meant more work.
D. What would you do with the extra time?
E. That means you can have more time to relax.
F. Everybody is busy,burned out,overloaded.
G. But by mid-century,Americans didn't want that old house.
