When was the working week set? Days of the quill pen and candlelight?

The introduction and increase in modern technology in 21st Century has no doubt dramatically increased productivity within the workplace. Still employees are working longer hours and stress levels in the workplace are on the increase. Common sense would dictate that we work to live not live to work. Is it fair that the majority of workers spend 5 out of 7 days each week at work. This no doubt has a knock on effect upon family life. Diets of fast food, reduction in family time together all have an affect upon society. The working week should be reduced further, I would suggest 4 days as a maximum.
