A retarded thing
For centuries have children of all ages have been playing. But the things that they play with have always changed. Children of different generation have almost not the same way of playing with there stuff. The stuff has change from sand and rock to toy and stuff toy to computer and video game. If you want proof so take a look on the playground and see what kind a game they are playing. It’s not the same what we grew up with. Let my give you another proof by compare children from the 30’s and from 90’s.
In the 30’s, children didn’t have all the glamorize toys like the future children has. They played with yoyos and balls. Many children prefer playing with there friends instead. The lives in the 30’s have been more social then the 90’s, but it doesn’t mean that it was fun. But it was not so safe ether to play with toys in that time, kids wasn’t careful back then and they didn’t know about the dangers. The makers of the ball and yoyo didn’t put warning text on their products, so kids didn’t know how dangerous it would be to hit a ball in the head hard. The only one that knew that was the parents that haft to remind the children by nagging. There wear almost no good mode to play if you were a child in 30’s, because of the economical crash around the world after First World War. Again, they didn’t have much, but they were easy to satisfy.
In the 90’s, kid had all the glamorize toys unlike the kids in the 30’s. They just didn’t play with balls and yoyos; they played with toys, stuff toys, talking stuff toys, videogames and soon computer. Kids or the nickname kidz were much less social then the kids in 30’s, because the companies of big toy industry had something up their sleeve. In the mid 80’s up till today had toy industry lived on popular TV show/ cartoon or movies by making merchandise of them and sell it to the fans. Of curse, allot of them was for kids. Children was stock on there bedroom and played with there toys for hours and didn’t talk to anyone except for them selves. The only time a child would talk was if another child was with him and played along. The second thing was the videogame and computer; those things make kids much more unsocial then anything. In there the children would go to another world and they would get pretty stuck there if not someone clap on the kids shoulder. There are many parents that say video games are dangerous, but they shouldn’t judge a book by its cover until they know that is dangerous. Some of the Kids in the 90’s were more careful, but there were still children that got hurt from toys. The kids in 90’s always wanted a new toy or videogame from there parent. Kids were then less satisfied then the 30’s children, because they got more variedly.
Now you see why different generations of children hade something different to do in there spare time. It maybe that children use different stuff and they play different games, but the mind of having fun is still unchanged from the beginning.
