Because it's so fast paced. We don't have time to stop, think, relax, think things through, etc. Life has always been stressful though, just for different reasons.
Think of what we consider to be cavemen. Life was far more slow paced but they had to worry about if their hunt would be successful, if a warring rival tribe was going to attack, whether or not their children were safe from wildlife, etc.
Now think of a more recent time frame, like America in the 1850's. Blacks were extremely stressed because they were held as slaves. Northerners were stressed because they opposed slavery, and Southerners were stressed because they feared their way of life was threatened if abolitionists succeeded in freeing the slaves.
Today we're stressed because we're expected to do so many things and meet so many expectations. We're supposed to always be striving for more. Some of the happiest people in the world are the ones who are content with having *just enough*.
