I don't know how we got by twenty years ago. A few years back the power went out (rare for us here) and we didn't know what to do. No TV, no computers, no Internet, no cell phones... We ended up playing board games.
Kids too. When I was a kid, we went to bed early in the summer. There was nothing to do after dark. TV sucked - there was only four channels then - and we didn't have vhs rental stores by us... Now kids want to stay up all night - they chat on cell phones and on line, and have 800 channels to choose from - plus the DVR and a huge stack of DVDs. Insane.
