Do you remember when we were kids? We would actually group together all of the neighborhood friends and play games like "freeze tag" and "hide and go seek." After school we would go over to a friend's house and play video games until it got dark and you know you would be grounded if you came home too late. Remember the day you were learning to ride a bicycle for the first time and fell on your ass and your friend's laughed at you? Or how about trading CD's and Pokemon cards with your friends ? We lived in the last generation when parks and neighborhoods were flooded with happy children.
It's sad to see that technology took this away. Even kids playing with other people are doing it in separate rooms via online gaming. Yesterday, I visited the places where I used to play. The neighborhood was empty and there was only one child at the playground. The little brat was on his phone. What the hell does a six year old do on an iPhone anyway?
I haven't seen anyone out and about since the 90s. Then last year, Pokemon Go was released and the streets were once again crowded with children and adults of many ages. There would be very minimal socializing among the players. The majority were too involved in their phones, trying to play a game from our childhood. And once that game burned out, the streets were hushed.
How lucky are we to have lived a childhood?
