Can we live without technology?

Our society has really change from how it used to be. Through the different ages that passed by, the changes are really evident. Today, we are blessed with technology's advantages in our lives. This short video clip shows kids of today trying the toys of 1980's. Would they be able to use it?

It is very obvious that the children are able to make use of the "toys" with little supervision. Though that is the case, they do not want to use those in a daily basis since it has less capabilities than our technology today. Also, those "toys" are very bulky and heavy compared to what we use today.

But this video does not only showcase kids trying to use the earlier technologies. It also shows that we should be thankful of what we have been blessed. Everyday, many people complain about life being tough. But, with this we know now that we are very privileged to live an easier life compared to the people in the 1980s or far more before. It also implies the thought of being simple. With what we have today, we should really take into consideration what we only need to use.

The video is very fun to watch and amusing. The kids had fun and learned what their mother used to play back in her time. I believe that in the near future, kids at that time would also have no idea about what we use in the present time. So, take advantage and use our technology wisely.
