I may be young in my early twenties, but to be born in a developing country, I also went through the same experience. Items such as black and white TV, dial phones, and many other tradition technology from the 1950’s that were invented in the US, I have used them in the 1990’s.
that picture is one of a kind. (I keep asking but when are you going to start to selling these, because you could buy new shoes with the amount of $$ I’d spend. 😉 )
Yes AND they have an opportunity to bring good changes to the world through the wise use of technology… we need to give them a chance to mature… but I have two adolescents at home, they do seem spoiled, I’m waiting for their inner essence to carry them forward.
I miss seeing groups of kids playing together, outside, in the neighborhood. Not the playground -but the ‘hood. We used to play “Bounce or Fly” in the street in front of our houses, with a battered old softball and a chewed up wooden bat. We played “Hide ‘N Seek”, in the evening, in and around our yards and the block we lived on. We played a game called “Releevio” (spelled like it was pronounced) and the “goal” (jail) was always in front of Bobby’s house, across the street. We had it good. We were all poor, but we all had each other, and we all shared the richest of childhoods.

This brings back memories. We had a rotary dial phone in our kitchen growing up.

Recently learned my ten-year-old stepson has never heard of 8-tracks or cassette tapes. *sob*

My kids never knew the kind of freedom I had as a kid. We really did have it good.
