I didn't have a computer in my house until I was fifteen though, so I spent a lot of time outside and kind of avoided many household contraptions.

And if you were anything like me, from that day on you were then stuck inside playing AoE:II and Diablo III had many of those woes, and triumphs growing up.

You've been old for a long time now.

I had one in the house I lived in when I was 8, but I was the same way.I had many of those woes, and triumphs growing up.

Riding bikes, climbing trees, playing baseball, you couldn't keep me inside.
Someone said in the thread that he never had video games and the like, but his mother would allow he and his brother to take their bikes and disappear for hours.
And that kids now-a-days will never know how that feels.
As much as they have now available to them, I still feel bad for them because of that.
Personally, I wouldn't have traded to be a kid now.

honestly, i wouldn't either. things are so different now. i remember being literally locked out of my house, disappearing till dark, and drinking out of a fucking water hose for christ's sake. nowadays, you'd probably get sent to jail for doing that.

I put some chocolate in your Metamucil.
Mhmm
I did the same.
Plus staying out till dark was safe where I lived, I can't even let the kids out during the day here..

Romping around my town was exactly where I wanted to be when I was a kid, which is exactly where I was, so it worked out quite nicely.
The city kids I know are sad folk, playing outside for them is going to a skate park or at best an actual park.
When I was a kid it was biking all over the goddamn county or taking a bucket out to the woods/marsh and catching snakes.
Kids today will miss out on a lot of that stuff thanks to technology and other such blights on freedom.

You want cartoons? Get up early on Saturday then because that's all you're getting.
Those two huge antenna for the tv that you would have to adjust ever so perfectly just to get about 4 crappy looking channels.
Not being able to run or pretty much move suddenly in any way at all without the discman skipping like a motherfucker
having to ride your bike all around the neighborhood from house to house trying to find where all your friends were in the summer because you can't just call their cell
*sigh*, those were the days...

I remember going to a friends house and his mom saying she didn't know where he was, maybe in the woods outside of town.
So I biked alone to a forest to find him.
He was out there with some other town kids building a tree fort town fifty feel off the ground.
One of my best summers ever.

I live out in the sticks, we did shit like that at a constant. Kinds with no sense of self preservation, lots of land, tools, and a lack of parental supervision makes for some great times.Its hard to think that kids won't have to adventure anymore thanks to how connected we all are.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me-- and there was no one left to speak for me.

It had nothing to do with churches though.
