1 Here is a newspaper report of a young girl who went back in time to see how her home town looked seventy years ago.
 
Dehra Times
Purkul, 7 July, 09
It is reported that Kareena, a twelve year old girl living in Purkul, went back in time using a time machine.
Seventy years ago her home town was an ideal place to live in. Her home town had not been invaded by the marvels of technology. Industries had not been set up then, so the air was not polluted. She could see children playing in the garden. Some children were listening to the stories told by their grandmothers. Happiness and contentment prevailed everywhere.
 
In the newspaper report above, the focus is on the changes as observed by Kareena.
1. Kareena's hometown had not been invaded by the marvels of technology.
2. Industries had not been set up.
3. The air was not polluted.
4. Some children were listening to stories told to them by their grandmothers.
