pfft the old days handled a lot of things significantly better.
If we wanted to talk to a friend we actually walked to their house, we didn't get rides, or sit around texting.
If we wanted to play a game, we made up games we didn't fire up a computer or xbox.
When we wanted to build a toy, we got a basic toy like the two avaialbe GI Joe action figures with the kung fu grip and then used lego or mechano to build a whole world around them.
We had a bullying problem, but it was taken care of internally we didn't run to teachers or post up face book videos of us crying. We knew we would probably get our a$$es kicked but you made sure you got your shots in.
We were outside all of the time, I think the only times when we were allowed to be inside on a weekend was when it was 30 below, or if you were sick.
I think our families communicated better because we didn't sit in seperate rooms with our own T.V.'s or computers.
If you did something stupid and got in trouble, your parents might defend you, but you learned your lesson afterwards. Our parents didn't justify some of the things that I read about today.
I think that my generation was way more self sufficient and tougher then the kids are nowdays. I also look at the people entering the workforce and the work ethic is entirely different.
