【答案解析】从Angela Betty的第一句话In the past there were long periods of stability before the new invention was thought up．可以看出过去没有新发明创造，生活稳定。从她的最后三句话It's a much simpler life．I think that along with our technology comes a faster paced life，followed by faster computers，smaller cell phones，and gadgets．It's too much for me．可知她已厌倦了科技带来的生活大变化，想过一种简单的、没有烦恼的生活。
