[quote="Lauren"][quote="MooLion"][quote="Ninaroja"]The fact that there are kids alive today who don't know what a casette tape/VHS tape is makes me incredibly sad

Accck!
Even worse, I think it's ridiculous school children don't, for example, know who Winston Churchill was (apparently many think he's just the bulldog from the adverts!), and other such figures. Up to an age level that's acceptable, but older... A lot of things I hear about 'kids today' I think, I didn't take in loads at school but I knew this, I knew that, I even knew some of the other. Are teachers really not teaching certain kind of basic things anymore?

And then there's the healthy eating thing... not even children, how can some people not realise about vegetables, etc. It's something you just grow up knowing about... if not that there's so many TV programmes and magazine articles about healthy eating and living. I'm not the most smart person on the planet, that's for sure, but some people really make me fear for this country.

Anyway, end of rant. Sorry.[/quote]
I blame possibly every "i___" product out there today. Children these days don't have creativity anymore nor find activities to occupy themselves. They gotta depend on mommy or daddy's iPad or whatever else the parents own that's too technological for a young child to process in their head. The fact that babies are using iPhones is so ridiculous. When I was very young, I used to draw and read books all the time. Nowdays, kids hardly read books anymore which is upsetting. Plus, they don't have quality music and television shows anymore. They're watered - down to the point of maximum stupidity.[/quote]
Take your nostalgia glasses off, as well as your anti-reality visor.
Y'know, back in my day, kids drew pictures on cave walls and read hieroglyphs. We didn't have any of that fancy pants paper, and we loved it. We didn't have any of those alphabets ye got there, either. Psh, movies and TV don't compare to spending the day fetching water and cleaning hydes for our clothes. You 20th century kiddies live in sad times.
All that techno-loggin' be makin' ya'll ain't so bright no more. Ya'll ain't livin' like me did, and me is be the upsets. Me no like all them changes, cos me lifestyle be super bests.
