If I had grown up twenty years earlier I would be a child of
the eighties much like my parents. My life would differ substantially if the
phrase, “when I was your age”, which my mom constantly repeats holds any truth.
Back in the days when personal computers were just getting there start and a
cell phone weighed more than most backpacks, I would have never survived. I
would probably get yelled at for talking a lot more than usual because I wouldn’t
have the convenience to text my friends whenever I needed to. I believe that my relationships with others
would be a lot stronger than they are now because I wouldn’t spend the 1-2
hours I normally do on my computer or cell phone. I would probably not get as annoyed as I do
on the phone because that would be my main way of contacting people. I would prefer
to live in the time period which I currently reside. Possibly if I had never
once lived in the current era, I would enjoy living in the eighties. However,
going from now to then would be like taking one step forward and ten back.
