Life Before Mass Technology

OMG! What was life like before hi-tech gadgets ruled the airwaves? Wait, it wasn't all that long ago! Holey moley, we kids have fun the old-fashioned way with slinkys and yo-yos and jumping ropes and hopstoch and playing tag for the girls. For the boys they played basketball, football, etc. At school. I played kickball, volleyball, etc. We had good simple fun.
We didn't IM, text, talk on the cell without people saying our phone it's surgically attached to our ear! It's was rude to talk during dinner, if only we made it quick I had the pay phone at my high school and could use the receptionist's phone  if need be at my elementary school. I only talk on the phone with a real person, not just chat online (could be sex offender, who knows?) Payphones are obselete and people text all the time even during dinner, classes, work, etc.  To sum it up, they text during inappriate times.
People were cowards now cos they're not into bully face-to-face; instead they do it online, which is a billion times worse. Bullying is hurtful either way. Bullying is ganging up on another person.
Technology has been advanced for better or for worse. I've listed all the cons. Now here goes the pros.
Well, I can watch movies online (Thank you, YouTube! and Netflix!) and shows I've missed. I can chat on Facebook but I would give anything-anything-for face-to-face contact. I can email my friends and learn different computer programs online.

Technology has its uses, so don't go abusing it!
