 and
then
 was able to cook food and nowadays, they can have a good meal in minutes by cooking it in microwave ovens, hot plates, etc.

, when I was a kid, we used to live in a village and we did not have refrigerators, washing machines at that time. My mother used to wash clothes with her hands and it generally took her 4 hours to wash all of them and
then
 she used to hang them up at the roof.
However
, in the age of artificial intelligence, we can wash and dry clothes at once in the same machine. It makes washing clothes easy and
moreover
, it saves lots of time. To sum up, development in the technology brings more advantages than disadvantages. In
this
 fast paced life it is necessary to have
