Oh yes indeed, i had a lovely carefree childhood,
I have great memories of being in the outdoors, using our imagination
for game playing and fun

Absolutely!
Technology is great, but nothing beats building tree houses, flying down hills at breakneck speed on home made carts, or dragging a raft you made to the river to see if it floated or not

I'm certainly glad I grew up without the techno gadgets too. I'm not so sure my mom enjoyed all that for me though.... you know coming home late with ripped pants, bruised knees, cling-ones in my jeans cuffs, forgetting and losing my shirt somewhere, putting a baseball ball through a neighbors window while playing baseball with my sandbox friends ......

Agree 100% with this....nothing beats getting into mischief and playing outside all day with lots of friends till the street lights came on and it was time to go home.

Yeppers, chasing rainbows, going outside barefoot in summer rain storms, hang jumping off the neighbours roof.....it's all good fun until we get hurt.
Even winter was more tolerable when I was young.

Yeah, we swam in the river, picked blackberries of the hedges,
i spent a lot of time at a farmers place, with his son, pretending to be helping,
we were probably more of a nuisance, but he was very patient with us
Getting drives on the farmers floats, when they were bringing the hay,
very dangerous,,, but we didn't think so at the time

Aren't there men's sheds,, the allotment, the church, libraries, and public transport.

Not matter the age there is always something avant-garde regarding to technologies yet not always available/affordable to many.
Just enjoy the present.

Umm, how can technology take over unless you facilitate?
Technology can't take over by force of it's own volition.
You have to provide the means of it taking over your children's and grandchildren's lives.

I think technology might have helped to distract me from all the crap that was going on during my childhood but I found other ways to divert my attention from it 
Still doing it now

I agree Sofia the advantages of technology far outweigh the nostalgia of only the good times remembered .
I remember the thrill of owning my first computer, a S Sinclair Quantum Leap, when i see the fantastic increase in the power of I could live another 100 years to see the mind boggling advances that will come.

I must say I love it too and have often said that had it been available earlier, I would have pursued a career in the industry

It does out weigh nostalgia.
But it did not you.
All further that grows must be available..

For sure as I can see the good and the Bad of technology now.
I prefer both, but tech needs warning signs or could get out of controll and we would all be locked in beside it.
We have already had a hit
