Kids & Remembering When

Those of us with teenagers will appreciate this. I recently attended a technology conference and the point was brought up that those of us with children have children who never experienced life without a computer...they have no idea what it would be like without a world full of computers. Have you ever thought how much time we spend every single day looking at some type of screen? Each day we look at computer screens, television screens, phone screens, video game screens and more...for hours and hours...

My daughter was singing along to Jimmy Buffett and I asked her if she knew what a "pop-top" was and she said she had no clue...

Remember when we were little the best part of a gift was the box it came in and we used our imagination?

Remember when we were little we walked everywhere and a large group of kids would play outside until the streetlights came on?

Remember when we we kids and we cherished being able to play just one sport at school, but now our kids are so active with so many things we cannot keep our head on straight?

Do you remember Pong? that was the first video game that we all thought was incredible! Now there are numerous video games that you can not only play, but play with someone else in a different part of the world while you talk to them over the Internet....

I'm getting old....
