First of all, I think « Returning to a traditional way of life would make people happier ! » it’s a good question because for me there don’t have answer. A few of persons are fascinated by Victorian Era thus for them, returning to a traditonal way of life would make people happier, their passion would become reality. However, it’s a minority of persons consequently for me a lot of people will not be happy to go back to the Victorian era because at the Victorian Era there weren’t all the new technologies, these new means of communication, yet today it’s impossible to us to unplugging. With my class, our teacher asked us to try to unplugging for just one day and a lot of persons are failed because today wa can’t be log off. And I asked the question to my parents and they answered me that it was impossible because in their works they use their smartphone, their computers all day long. Thus for a majority of people, they will not be happy to return to a traditionnal way of life, but the people who lived at this period were very happy whereas its technologies didn’t exist.
