Some people say the good old days were better - before smartphones, social media, and the internet took over everyday life. Kids rode bikes until dark, families actually sat together and watched TV.
There was touch football in the street, kick the can, booties up, stickball and Frisbies to occupy our time. We all thought Lassie was a real dog who saved Timmy every week (Did Timmy fall down the well again, Lassie?).
We thought we were cool if we had a Davie Crocket hat. We played 'Army'. If you had a quarter in your pocket you could get a cherry coke at the corner store and go home with 15 cents change. You could yell out your bedroom window to talk to a neighbor, and if you had to call someone, it was on a rotary phone instead of sending a text or an Instawhatever.
Do you think life was better back then - or is today’s technology a good thing?
Thanks to Florida Hillbilly for the inspiration
