    People often forget how far we’ve come.

    An “upper middle class” person in Europe during the medieval period had a house (more like a barn) with two rooms; one with a fire around which the whole family slept and another one with a workshop for making random stuff.

    And that was high end, because the average bugger was slaving away on the fields.
