I don't know about tv's but before the internet and mobile phones I used to go hang around with my friends I was never in the house as a kid it was safer back then.But I do think todays society is too dependent on modern technology kids don't hang out anymore they just text,facetime or whatever. If a solar flare ever happened that took out all the satellites the planet would come to a standstill and chaos would ensue.

Played British Bulldog, kick the tin, knock knock ginger and when I was old enough to be allowed out of the street I'd walk the estate looking for my mates.

I do find it hard sometimes to understand modern life. I use these forums when im a

t home as i dont really watch television. I used to do crafty stuff until my eyes got to bad.

I also find it difficult that people dont go out and do stuff as much.

Oddly i noticed it last friday i got a lot of messages from guys in their 20s, it would of been unheard of for lads of that age to stay in on a friday.

But i am aware of the cost of living these days and it would be impossible for someone on an average income to do what we used to do.

I can see when my grandchildren grow up everything they do socially will be via the internet
