And speaking of low-tech, what about playing cards, yoyos, magic tricks, and juggling balls?

My grand son recently got a yo yo and was surprised to learn that I knew how to use it. He asked me if we had yo yos when I was a kid.

LOL!! Makes you wonder what they’re thinking your generation had. Stone ax? Slingshot? The wooden raft?

You should have told him that way back when you were a kid in pre-historic times all you had was a club, rocks, and dirt to play with. Bicycles hadn’t even been invented yet! No TVs, no cellphones, radios, walkmans, Internet or anything like that.

Heck, global warming wasn’t even talked about - only ice ages. And, yes, we had to walk back and forth to school, uphill, both ways, in 10 foot snow drifts, barefoot, with only the clothes on your back.
