Blog 60 - Time Period

Obviously life would be a lot different if I had been born in a different time period.  If I was growing up twenty to thirty years ago, there would be no cell phones or mp3 players.  There would be no computers and there would not be many video games.  I think technology is the main difference that separates different time periods.  Overall, I feel like life would not be that much different, but just what people do during the day would be different.  I actually think I might enjoy life in this time period a little better.  Growing up, I was never that interested in playing video games and playing on the computer.  I think it would be more interesting if more people were outside and actually socializing with each other.  Don’t get me wrong though, I do appreciate having a computer or being able to call my parents on my cell phone.  These technological advancements can make life easier and more efficient.  But I appreciate hanging out with my friends and spending time outside.  I think it would be interesting to live the life that my grandparents did.  They got to see many important advancements in our country’s history.  They saw the first person land on the moon, the inventions of television; they saw life with no internet and no cell phones.  I think it would be interesting to see all this happen.  I also think it would be interesting to live in a period farther in the future.  I always wonder what life will be like in a couple hundred years and I think it would be interesting to see it.
