Remember the good old days when kids had real fun? Check out these 10 vintage photos that show what children did for fun before smartphones
Kids today are so hooked to mobile phones that they simply can’t fathom living without one. Some can’t even go through a whole single day without fidgeting on an i-Pad or a cellphone.
To them, a world without smartphones, and technology as a whole, must seem like a dull, tedious place, stripped of all that is fun and enjoyable.
They are so dependent on gadgets that they’ve never even heard of some of the games that we used to play outside, because that’s where we spent our childhood – outside.
The fun only ended when your mother would start screaming her lungs out that it was time for dinner.
We didn’t need much, right? However, those were simpler times and technology was not that accessible as it is today.
Kids today must be wondering, What did people do for fun in a world where viral videos and cool games were not but a click away?
