      Life without phones used to be a lot harder and more frustrating but we didn't know there was any other way so all those things were just normal to us and didn't really bother anybody. We were able to actually have lives though. I used to read books like I'd starve to death otherwise. Now I just spend most of my free time staring at a screen. The worst part is I know that it sucks but I still can't stop myself. Sometimes I delete social media for a while but then I feel like I'm missing out on so much because everybody else is on it. Smartphones are like meth that we now start our kids on as babies and you can't go through life without.

We never had cable, we didn't get internet until I was around 10, and then we only had dial up which was soooo slow and there wasn't much to do on it, yet. (No RUclips, Social media, etc.).... and my parents didn't upgrade until after I moved out for college. I got my first cell phone when I was 17, and it was a pay as you go little Nokia phone. So it was basically just for emergencies. I didn't get a smart phone until after I was married (22). All that to say, I had an awesome childhood. I have a super tight-knit family that had dinner together every single night. My siblings and I played outside for hours and hours, and we were all best friends with our next door neighbors and had a movie night with them every Friday night for years. We never had DVR or anything so we either taped shows on the VCR if we weren't going to be home, or we just missed an episode and had to wait for reruns to possibly re-air it. If there was nothing on TV, you would find something else to do. Play outside, do something creative, read, hang out with friends, etc. We did have a super nintendo and later a nintendo 64, but my my parents were strict about technology so we didn't get to play very often. I HATE how everyone is addicted to their phones now. I miss the 90's.

    Brilliant! When I was a kid my parents would take a map on our trip. We would have to stop at rest stops along the way to figure it out. (1970's) Those were the best days EVER!

      In the before time, we really didn't run over to the computer to look things up online. 1 - because dial up was a pain and depending on how early this would have been set, you could have been paying per minute for internet usage, 2 - the internet search engines we used weren't as good as Google is now.

    "Our teens spend a lot less time today talking to each other than they did a few years ago, and a lot more time communicating with each other on their smartphones without saying a word. They post messages, photos, and videos. Waiting rooms of bus and train stations, airports, and restaurants are filled with teens texting rather than talking to each other." ~ Unknown

      Waiting rooms of bus and train stations and airports would be filled with people reading or listening to headphones if cell phones weren't around. The notion that people were talking all the time pre cell phones is absolutely laughable revisionist history. I remember taking a train, flying, being in a waiting room, no one said shit to each other, they just distracted themselves in different ways

      Yeah, that's true, but unfortunately in this new age, it's almost impossible to live life normally without it, my daughter's school does all online testing and work, my husband's job is 90% paperless, and no one I know hardly ever does life without a phone or lives in the moment. I honestly try to, especially out with friends or loved ones.
