I am a fan of old school. I was born in the late 70's and enjoyed my childhood playing in the streets. Childproofing a house was not that common. We bathe in the rain without having any fear of getting sick. A big yellow bird, a blue monster that loves cookies and a green fuzzy monster that lived in a garbage can were just a few of my favorite characters on TV.
My vocabulary as a teenager did not include text messages, MMS, IM, Friendster, Facebook and MySpace. Most girls back then were not obsessed with their weight. Diet pills and fat burners like Lipovox were unheard of. There wasn't really an easy way to lose weight except to exercise.
Cellphones were only used by the rich people. What you see is what you get when taking pictures. We too had the chance to have music "handy", it's called a Walkman. People don't fight over the remote control because we don't have one.
Pollution was not really a great threat to our environment. There were more trees back then. The weather and climate are normal. The term global warming would be hard to use in a sentence.
All in all, life back then despite its technological drawbacks seems better than what we have now. Stress levels are more lower and basically life is simpler. What do you think?
