Same here! I remember I mostly liked to play outside with the neighborhood kids, but I also enjoyed playing on the computer if it wasn't nice out. I was relatively fast to the technology experience, most of my friends didn't become a full time internet hobo until a year or two after me. I think I had a nice childhood.
I'm a little rusty, but I think when I was about 7 I started playing games like webkinz and club penguin. Then a year or two after that, I discovered some sites like YouTube, and then I started using the internet properly. Minecraft came shortly after, when it became a fad at school.
That's not on kids. That's on parents. When I was a kid we got limited time for computer, video games, or tv. We didn't get to play an hour on the computer and then watch tv. What we did was more or less up to us other than that. So why old folks blame kids for not playing outside is like old folks blaming kids for the economy. You shit the bed grandpa, now the kids are just trying to find a way to sleep in it. Either way the older generation has always thought the younger were ruining the world and society. People used to protest songs that are now used in greeting cards for religious grandmas, when the idea of "teens" came out in the 30's/40's their tight sweaters, vanity and hooligan ways made it to time magazine. Kids are dumb. We were all kids and those of us who had fun as kids were dumb kids. Let em enjoy it and cringe later. As long as they aren't actually ruining their lives like smoking crack, society changes. Move with it or just wave politely and shut up while it passes you
I grew up in the time when technology was starting to become more popular and common, so I got a mixture of both
Well actually all of the 2000's
