...we had to walk three miles uphill through four-foot high snow drifts to get to school. We didn't GET snow days...
Although I don't feel like I'm THAT old, I have lived through some major technological advances in my lifetime. I used to joke with my grandfather, who was born in 1896, that he watched the world go from horse-trodden dirt roads to a man on the moon during his lifetime. (Yet they still haven't invented a newspaper ink that won't come off all over your hands!) I have been thinking about how things were different when I was kid, compared to what my kid's lives are like. I would love to hear how things have changed for my Lit friends, too. Please chime in, and have fun!
