Tech which makes Sense

The world children grow up in today is very different from what I remember as a child. I was born in the 1980s, which was not that long ago. However, with the speed at which technology evolves today, many changes have occurred.

When I was in elementary school, I would play with action figures, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Disney characters. There was also the madness of the Pogs and, of course, Ty Beanie Babies. I can remember our first computer, it ran MS-DOS and the games we played were on floppy disks. I can also remember a time without the Internet. And also a time when AOL was the most popular Internet service provider.

Most of my free time as a child was spent outdoors, weather permitting. I played with chalk, rode my bike, and participated in outdoor games with neighboring children. My friends and I went for a walk and found alternative ways to occupy our time that did not involve an electronic device.

My friends and I made three-way calls with cordless phones that were twice the size of today’s phones. Also, my first cell phone, which was even before folding phones were made, had a grayish-green screen with a black font and a four-inch retractable antenna.

Children growing up in today’s world have been exposed to a very different world. They have always lived in a world with the internet, computers, and other devices that are used on a daily basis. His hobbies are different too and include playing video games, surfing the internet, and watching YouTube. Children are even given smartphones, sometimes from elementary school.

Sure there are still many similarities, like playing with dolls, Legos and cars, but there are also many differences. While I believe that technological advancements have been great for the economy and for improving the efficiency of our lives alongside the world we live in, I also see some downsides. I think there are some important things missing in children’s lives today, including exposure to different forms of art and music. I also believe that electronic communication so often hampers social skills. But regardless of my opinion, this is our world and after only living in it for 25 years, I can already see great advances in society. It will be interesting to see what children growing up now think about this topic when they turn 25.
