I've also often told my children that when I was little I didn't get to watch tv and movies when ever I wanted as we didn't have DVDs or You Tube - don't think they quite understood!

We spent more time outside having fun in the sun...we saw EVERYTHING, there was no distractions from 'screens' and technology. You actually visited your friends in person as opposed to posting on their Facebook wall. It's actually a reminder for us adults to take a look in the mirror and make changes! Turn off the screens and spend some time with our children teaching games like hopscotch, elastics, backyard cricket, riding our bikes and having a picnic in the park with our friends :) <br />(BlogFair via Mummy Do It) Charlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00352693509954112273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557412432315894254.post-26137848390784752172015-05-22T23:41:49.770+01:002015-05-22T23:41:49.770+01:00Hi Teresa.

Believe it or not I started my blog so I could write down all of the things about growing up in the 70s (before i forget them!) that my children miss out on, do differently, or some of the things that have stayed the same. The biggest difference for kids, I think, is lack of freedom. And for adults, I think technology has increased the expectations placed on us - it has opened up some wonderful doors for keeping in touch with people and sharing things, but it can be hard to keep on top of.The Vinyl Editionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134788624635069568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1557412432315894254.post-68926555995553084222015-05-22T17:11:54.651+01:002015-05-22T17:11:54.651+01:00Thank you!

I used to live in a small town in Idaho that was behind all the changes of the world. Cell phones were selective in areas, so we didn't really have them until I was in 8th grade. We didn't get high speed internet until I was in 6th grade. There are huge changes that I see and I'm only 20. When I was younger we were always outside, hardly ever had a electronic gadget, and we browsed the town. I work at a youth club and I see a huge change. They kids want to stay inside and play on the WII or computer. They want to watch TV instead of play a game outside. It is a shift that I try hard to change where I work. I want the kids outside playing, getting energy out and exploring life. Thanks for this post.
