My generation spent as much time outdoors as we could when the weather was nice, on weekends or after school once homework was done. There was too much to do to sit around the house.
Technology has been instrumental in improving our culture in many ways, but what it has done to kids, is not an improvement. Today’s kids sit around and stare at a small screen for hours a day. They get no exercise, have little contact with nature and strain their eyesight.
This commercial, shot for Nature Valley in Canada a few years back, drives this generational difference home in a great short video. They asked three generations what they did, or do, as kids for fun and entertainment. The difference is sad.
