We grew up during the decade that ended with the biggest changes of the century.
We have witnessed this change and we were the last one might say,children of innocence.
Innocence of which technology changed entirely
The bikes and toys in the neighborhood until late in the evening was our every day routine.
You see,in ‘our’ years there were no cell phones...they entered in our lives shortly after puberty.
We talked with our buddies for hours on the phone.
We didn’t have computers yet and if someone did we weren’t supposed to touch it. It was like a tool and they were extraordinary expensive.
We waited each week for our favorite magazine to come out and we used to run in neighborhood’s market to buy it.
We were also expecting the new posters that would decorate the already filled of other posters walls of our bedrooms.
In the evenings we were chiling with our parents and watched with anxiety the series of that time and the next morning we used to analyze it with our classmates.
Our console games was the legendary Super Mario on Game Boy,Tetris and Sonic.
We were teenagers when Walkman was replaced by the CD player and seemed so beautiful...
We often made our own recordings with buddies, pretending that we had our own radiostation. And late at night we were all listening to the same radio station because in those years we were “talking” with songs and not emoticons.
When the internet first came in our lives,it was slow as a turtle and if someone tried to make a call...you were off.
We used to tal on how well change the world.
I still believe that in our time the best cartoons were created.
I’m still looking at the marks from knocks and scratches on the knees and i sorely miss these years.
But now...it is an entirely different world.And at times it looks weird.
We feel strange that children are afraid to play in the streets and returning late at home.
Because the more world changes around us,i feel like we lost a part of ourselves. We have witnessed the nicest puberty and the most disappointing adult life.
What will the future bring to us?
Unknown...
But I certainly will not take us those beautiful memories
