I grew up in the sixties and remember for quite awhile we only had one bathroom, only one hang on the wall Western Electric hard wired rotary phone, no color tv until I was almost 10. But in spite of that I had a bunch of neighborhood kids to do things with. We rode our bikes, played street football or pig/horse with a basketball. No cell phones, VCR's, or video games existed yet. I feel I had a much better upbringing than my own kids did mainly because of the limited technology we had then. I'm always amazed when we got out for dinner now how a family is isolated from itself because there all surfing the net or on social media with there phones. I do miss a simpler time in which I grew up in.
