Cambridge

20 February, 2050

Dear Mr Editor,

I read the article last week which compared life in the 1990s with life today The writer thought that family life then was better than it is now I don’t agree I think life today is much better than it used to be

Life is so much easier and more convenient now Fifty or sixty years ago, they didn’t have domestic robots, for example My grandparents had to do all their own housework!

Today, we can order everything by using our cards, but in the last century people had to go to the shops themselves What a waste of time! In my opinion, we’re much better off now

Yours faithfully,

John Andrews
