Generation 70's and 80's
We who were BORN in end 70s and beginnng 80's.
The last SANE generation! -
We are the last generation that learned to play in the street,the last generation who played hide an seek. we are the first who've played video games, seen cartoons in color and amusement parks. We were the last to record songs of the radio on cassettes, we knew the connection between a pencil and cassette and we are the pioneers of walk mans and chat rooms. We Learned how to program the VCR before anyone else, play with the Atari, Super Nintendo, Mario Bros and believed that the Internet would be a free world. We are the generation of the Thunder Cats, the Transformers, Silver Hawks, Gumby, Highwayman, Manimal, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, - Traveled in cars without seat belts or air-bags ,lived without cell phones, - We did not have Play stations, 99 television stations, flat screens, surround sound, mp3s, I Pods, computers and the Internet, ...but we had time to rest our head on our grandmas lap and listen to bed time stories, we had time to sit and watch Grandizer, Bell and Sebastien.. and saturday evening movies with our parents. We knew how to built a sand castle in the beach, we knew how to fish with a bend needle and a worm. We knew the smell of a slate and chalk pencils. We knew the music before the news at 7 in the radio. We held our dads hands to wait in the bank while they drew money , instead of ATMS.
We had a GREAT Time,
thanks to technology thats just a memory now!!

Never mind, Rizks, I always dreamed of being black like Muhammed Ali. But all the coffee and the cigarettes didn't work.
LP, i got rid of my hairs but sad...:( I didnt get his fair complexsion looks....:(
Yeah, and Rizks was so fond of Casper that he also wanted to look like him, that's why he got rid of his hair!

...and Wonder Woman,Famous 5,Captian Peacock,Fairy Tales ......Sat wide-eyed through them all,and importantly had to wait till 4 or 5 p.m for the telecast to begin!....I was so scared to watch Silver and Steel,LOL....
we will be the last generation who buy captain majid's chewing gum just for collecting the pictures which are inside it and throw the gum away.

Grandizer was my favorite those times....:)
In simple term kids get older younger
Cheers to the good old times CL.....those were memorable days...I still remember the day when I got hold of my Atari and later the Sega Mega Drive...hehe...I still have the Sega Mega Drive actually....and another favourite those days were watching Captain Majid cartoons on QTV....cannot forget that...:)...
very nostalgic and touchingly true...TFS Captain! Brings back a lot of bittersweet memories.
The good old days. Climbing trees, confer fights, push halfpenny, footy in the park . As for toys, we never really had many.
Captain Lost, I am your senior and have got many more nostalgic things to say. We enjoyed playing football bare foot, we enjoyed playing with friends in the nearby grounds, we enjoyed walking in the rain, we enjoyed clean food and fruits and vegetables without pesticides on them, we enjoyed rowing boats and we enjoyed sleeping at 9.oopm when the neighbours were aleady in deep sleep and at last we enjoyed reading in the light of candles.
OMG this is very touching real information, I miss the old days :'(
TCOM... please elaborate :P
RAK... LOL.."Hide' .. its right there.. :P
why is it Tcom ?
is it due to the diet ?
is it due to the regular use of the technology ?
is it due to the climate ?
The big difference is now Kids get older faster, even when they are young
LOL Tcom !
agree with u totallyy.....
ohh thats nice...yes i miss those childhood momeries also.
Hmm BTw I was born at the end of the 80's so I kinda have lil idea wot u on abt :P
If we don’t kill ourselves we’ll be the leaders of a messed-up generation
If we don’t kill ourselves will they believe us if we tell them the reasons why
Do we take it too far, take it too far
Did we chase the rabbit into wonderland
There’s a hundred grand, will they understand
It was all to stay awake for the longest
THE WTF Generation: Wikipedia Twitter & Face Book: P
CL, This is what happens when u hide ur real age and then post such topics :p
Remember Michael Jackson was black.
LP... yes, Right!! anything else you wana say?? :P
Nowadays on QL, everybody seems to be in a flashback mode
watched first run episodes of The Jefferson's and Sanford & Son
Television set took about 3 or 4 minutes to warm up
well said captain....stress free & more outdoor games played. Good memories...
how old are you ??
is the profile age real ?
nice :)
hooo ha before no
CL, you can still live like that - if you want. Nobody forces you to have a mobile phone! You can make your own music if you want. You can always go into the bank and withdraw cash while you have a chat with the teller. And you can go fishing. So, it's a choice, not a destiny!!
