Why do people use a mill?

The Romans ruled two-thousand years ago in Europe. They used Friesland as a fall-out base on the United Kingdom. The land was swampy with many rivers. The Romans used the power of the water for the grinding of grain. That was the beginning of the mill.

It cost people no power (except the building) and it went much faster then when they had to do it by themself.

When the fossil fuels became popular everybody wanted to have them, fossil fuels were cheap, and nobody cared about exhausting the fuel supply. After the energycrisis in 1973 everybody started to look different at the windmill, They thought it was handy, but there was also appreciation for the technique of the mill. That perfect is the windmill designed as a tool.

That is still true, but we have now electrical machines that are even faster that handle it for us. Why people use a mill is very simpel; it is for comfort, and comfort serves the human.
