"Huhuhu" to the 5 previous comments :jester:

As for our generation not having to face all these 14-miles-walk you had to face, and everything... Yep, definately we're lucky enough to be born late enough not to have to go through that. But isn't evolving the point of evolution? :-) We will probably be saying the same kind of things to our children in some decades, just because we know that we are far from having discovered and done it all, and technology and everything is just evolving so fast... I did not have Internet either a few years back, still remember it was already very different from now, 2009 :P

(Haaa I have to say I would have loved to grow with Space Invaders all around me :jester: )

My first computer game was an IBM selectric attached to a main frame at Ames Research Center in Mountain View, CA. We played tic, tac, toe and hang man...the "screen" was paper that fed into the type writer...hehe...

My very first "system" - which I laughingly called a PC...was an atari 64 rigged to a small black & white tv...Hell...I learned how to program on that thing!! I used to take it on 24 hour duty nights in the Navy to do my school work. All my friends laughed at me...especially when I had to set everything up and schlep all that crap around....but screw you youngsters....it worked! And the program...pirated off the teachers fancy-schmancy computer - fool let me use it for an assignment...Yeah!!! No copy protection!!! Ah the good old days...when you actually had control over your computer...no windows...no freak'en google....just archie to search boring bbs' for mundane scholarly crap...

Or hell...how about when AOL first came out...remember that? Everything in black and white....I didn't even know my computer HAD speakers then. I put that damn disc in at 2 in the morning one insomnia riddled night and the damn thing yelled "WELCOME" at mach 50 and scared the shit out of me....I just about fell out of my chair...took me a bit to figure out how to turn down the volume on my machine and even longer to get the babies back to sleep after they were frightened out of their wits by that stupid AOL bastard!! They could have warned you, you know.

Yeah...spoiled.... _|_

Besides...kids today aren't spoiled....they just smell bad!!

Oh...btw Tuggles...I think thats the most I've ever seen/heard you say! WOW...nice vocab....you really CAN type....probably took you an hour though.....lol

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE
1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets on our heads.
As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes.
Riding in the back of a pick- up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sugar. And, we weren't overweight. WHY?
Because we were always outside playing...that's why!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And, we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride them down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times,we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's and X-boxes. There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet and no chat rooms.
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them.
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment.
Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventThe past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
If YOU are one of them? CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good.
While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave and lucky their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it ? ors ever.

Today's society was truly paved by the past, and the pioneers of the past help propel us to where we are truly at today (Bill Gates -Microsoft mission statement " a PC in every house" e.g.). However we are pushing ourselves as a race and as such we are entering an era of intense and powerful evolution, which can be either a postive thing or a negative thing, for instance we either destroy a trend which as been following the human species its entire life "every kingdom will fall" and we prevail as a race defying odds making sure everything works and flourish and follow Dr. Stephen Hawking's vision (..we venture into space...fulltime....[technically we already are in space but yes i understand what he means lol]) or we are all doomed for a while until we build ourselves up again etc.
Think about life 500 years ago, now 250, now 150, now 100, now 50, now 40, now 30, now 20 and now 10. We made massive jumps technology-wise in recently. 500 years ago people thought the world was flat and everthing rotated around the Earth.
True you have had it rough in comparison with us, and the majority of us are spoilt etc. but think about how we have to perform in order for this trend to continue. Only an elite few can push the bar up. Issac Newton blew physics a whole new one, then a Mr. Albert Eistein lets rip at this Physics "Character" and beat him to a bloody pulp. however it took time to implement this knowledge into our everyday lives, for instance,
