Kids beg for Wiis now, thirty years ago I begged for an Atari. I would've killed for a walkman when I was ten. Ten year olds today would kill for an iPod Touch. Kids want (and some very lucky one have) their own cel phones now, and when I was a kid it was the same as having your own phone line in your bedroom. There will always be advancements in tech, and kids will always want the cool new product they see others have. And the world keeps turning...

Kids beg for Wiis now, thirty years ago I begged for an Atari.

I would’ve killed for a walkman when I was ten. Ten year olds today would kill for an iPod Touch.

Kids want (and some very lucky one have) their own cel phones now, and when I was a kid it was the same as having your own phone line in your bedroom.

There will always be advancements in tech, and kids will always want the cool new product they see others have.

And the world keeps turning…

Our first dishwasher was the size of a washing machine and was on wheels. It was parked in a corner of the kitchen, and when we used it we rolled it over to the sink and hooked the hose up to the faucet to run a load.
