I found this and thought to share,,

Return to the '50s

Open the garage door manually, switch the channels on the TV without the remote, wash your car and dishes by hand, and hang your laundry outside instead of throwing it into the dryer. It's estimated that in the past 25 years, labor-saving devices have decreased the number of calories we burn by 800 a day. That's about a pound and a half per week!
