Evolution Of Entertainment A Risk

It has been quite interesting for me over the years watching the evolution of how we Americans entertain ourselves. We keep raising the bar.It takes more and more to get us excited. When I was a kid, we had three channels on television and a deck of cards to entertain ourselves. No cable.No satellite TV.No video rentals.No video games.No home computer.No Internet.Very few extracurricular activities after school. Frankly, there was very little to distract us from ourselves. Sometimes I think that was a good thing. Anymore, the distractions are rampant.It's tough to get the family together for dinner one night a week. When I was a kid, we ate together every night.I think that was a good thing. And it wasn't just my family, it was like that all over America. Beyond that, there seemed to be this larger sense of community back then. I am not just waxing nostalgic here.I really believe that a simpler lifestyle made us a more cohesive society.
