RE: The weirdest toys and games from my childhood: How a kid in the 70s killed time before the advent of cable television part one.
Wow. Lite Brite! I remember the awesome commercials for that thing. This reminds me of conversations I have with my daughter that go something like this:
daughter: Daddy, Mommy won't let me use iPad. I'm bored.
me: So go find some toys to play with.
daughter: But I don't like toys! I like iPad.
me: You don't know how lucky you are. When I was your age we didn't have fancy electronic things like iPads and iPhones.
daughter: Did you have some other kind of phone?
me: No. There were no cell phones.
daughter: No... phones? How did you watch YouTube?
me: No. And no YouTube. I watched the TV instead.
daughter: That's really weird Daddy.
can you imagine what it's going to be like for our grandchildren?!
I can imagine... but anything I imagine is likely to be wrong. Who knows what the future will bring? But I bet whatever it is will be quite exciting and different than what it's like now!
Indeed!
