Looking back on your own childhood as happier than others is probably very common – I think most people do. But the question is if today’s young people are not losing a lot by having technology do everything for them. Maybe they’ll compensate by learning other things.
Using a rotary phone for the first time
When I was young, it was normal to ride your bike over to your friend’s house and ask if they wanted to check a place out. It could be anything from playing some football to going to the beach and swimming – or just cycling around in the neighborhood.
Today, young people are connected online most of the time and most of their friendship stays there – I don’t even understand how they manage to keep in touch.
Seeing an old rotary phone
But when it comes to older phones, the younger ones are as lost as I was when I had my first smartphone.
In the clip below, we can see adults, who we suppose are parents, handing out instructions to two 17-year-olds.
