When Fletcher reminisced about not having technology like we did today, it made me think back to my childhood when technology was barely taking its peak and it was the last thing on our mind as kids. I remember spending days outside and going to the park with my dad and neighborhood friends. I remember spending playtime with my neighbors, riding our bikes or in our front yard playing tag or hide and seek. Everyday me and my family made up games to play, drawing or reading books was a daily. Seeing children today and parents rely on technology is really sad to see, I wish they had the same childhood as I did and did more than just watch youtube and tv all day. Technology has consumed most of our lives and time that I can't even imagine what people did years ago for fun. I think anything we did as children was considered real fun over playing games on our phones. Although technology brings some benefits for convenience I believe that we miss out on real life experience, like learning hands on, being more creative, and expressing our imagination. Sometimes I would see post about “old” things we used to have, for example gameboys or different types of old shows we used to watch as kids. And its crazy some kids today don't know what we used to have, or know well enough that their missing out on a lot of things. I wish some old 90's toys/shows/ideas that we enjoyed made a comeback to today. What are some things you guys miss from your childhood?

I agree, just this weekend I was sitting next to these kids who were around the age of 10 and their topic of conversation was a new game app
ReplyDeleteThough I am not sure about what I miss from my childhood, I do agree with what you are saying. This is because most of the entertainment that today's kids have come from their parents' phone or ipad, since it often makes tham passive and quiet.
