What happened to the good old days?

I don't think I like the 80's that much. That time we don't have a house, we used to go to our neighbor's house just so we can watch TV. The movie house nearest us stinks. And pizza is nonexistent. What I like about the 80's though is it reminds me of my childhood and where you're a child everything is just child's play and you worry only about petty things.

Well,...We can still go to the Movies,Jobs haven't changed that much,(at least I've yet to be made redundant by a robot!)and I've yet to order takeout online..There's a reason netflix got popular-could you imagine the postal charges in the '80's (when there wasn't a postal strike) and VHS tapes were still the main movie rental media?

I love the 80's too. I love renting video tapes, I love going to cinema where cinema fee is cheaper. I love ordering from the fast food. I love buying tapes or VCD to support my favorite artists and musicians. Now, we can all download these materials online if we have computer and internet connection. We do not have to live the comfort of our houses, we are more safer at home and it saves effort and time and even transportation fees or gas. But I still love strolling around, riding cars to a place where we can see new things.

Now that technology has entered our world and everything is modernized, we really do not go to the movies and fun as before. seems to have disappeared much earlier are no more people're all busy everyday and only probemite affect us. nice day!

I sometimes miss the good old days too even though we still able to experience it, seldom. Because of the modern world, people just thought of becoming life easier but i just realized we missed lot of things. It seems to intensify as each day passes and the world become more difficult and less comprehensible. I missed the old simple days where even if we eat simple food with my family we are already so happy. There are lots of things that todays world has changed. As a quote goes, Our modern society is engaged in polishing and decorating the cage in which man is kept imprisoned.

I definitely miss the old days.. walking around with my friends, going to the mall, watching movies & eating chip dip. swimming at night time.. etc. I miss being a teenager and I'm only 20, but i have grown up a lot because i had a kid. so after that i didn't do nothing like i use to. but that what happens when i bring on that responsibility. :)

The good old days, ah I remember them but the sun has certainly set on analog entertainment, movies, music, and life in general. Everything is now digitalized and packaged for the tiny attention span of the modern adult. Besides there is no movie house that will let you come as you are to watch your movie in your ratty old underwear, when you want to. They call it progress, but if this is really progress, what is the main objective. To get the attenton span all the way to a speedy .10th of a second?

I guess the 80's are even kind of modern in my book, but I was a young mom during the 80's. I do not know that I would want to go back, but there were good things. It is not uncommon to miss the past.

forget the eighties, i would like to go back to times before i was born, maybe the 50s. sure people worked hard but life was so much more simpler then. women could afford to stay home with their kids because you only needed one income to survive.

Computers are taking over our lives, and we are going to have to be seriously careful in the future otherwise we're going to become creatures who do nothing apart from sit at home online all day and don't really get out all that often. I make sure that I leave the house at least once every day so that I get the exercise that I need, but I admit that I do spend a lot of time online at the moment. A lot of people have lost their jobs because of the fact that machines are taking over, and this is something that does seriously need addressing.

technology brought to much changes with our lifestyle. though we have lots of machines and gadgets to make our work easier, people seem to get busier and busier and always on the rush, less interaction with other people, even less time to prepare a good meal for the family. its just a cycle, we need more time to work to have more money to buy stuff that makes our tasks easier for us to have more time to work more to earn more.

I will be the first to say, I love technologies now a days, but you are absolutely right technology has taken over. Everyone relies on it now a days, especially me. However I still love going to the movies and seeing a good movie, but it is just movies have gotten so expensive, just for me and my family to go to the movies is a minimum of $50, between tickets and a snack. And as far as talking and texting is concern I prefer to talk to people face to face or over the phone rather than texting, even though I times I find myself doing it, but I think it's a bit inpersonal. That's just my opinion.

hello, sorry for what happened to you! well, I never know what are the style of 80's but I have watched it in the movie and maybe I have a little idea on my mind and for me it is now much better because I can connect in everywhere and maybe because this is what I've grown up too that is why I am more prepared to it. So, maybe you should move on and adopt the new generation(no offend)

So far, and I do thank God I can do this, but I usually just watch movies on T.V. You would be surprised at the good movies on Hallmark Movie Channel and Hallmark Home, plus The Lifetime Chanel and others. You just have to be subscribed to it and look your channel guide over to see the titles you would like to watch. Saves gas and movie money, too. I do not rent movies nor do I download them. I hate to do that, but if I ever have to I guess I surely will. I hope it does not come to that. glowin100

It’s not that everything of today is bad and everything of yesterday was good. You find both in both phases. Wisdom lies in sailing along the current. I belong to 60s and I learned 3D animation when I was 59 years by the way.[b][/b]

I wonder if the days of today will ever be considered to be the good old days. Then again, there were times where the previous generation thought that what we consider the good old days were such a breach of tradition. Such is the days of our life to say the very least. There are a lot of times where society has just changed and while there are hold outs. I'll tell you this, I remember the days where everyone actually read physical books. It just seems inherently wrong to read books on a machine. There is just something that a book in my hands invokes a special feeling. Granted, I still do that but I am very much in the minority. Books will still be around, actual physical books but things are not the same. Then again, technology cannot be stopped, and sadly those who are holding out are various parts of how things used to be, are fighting a losing battle. For better or for worse.

ya its true now on one wait for anyone to watch usually earlier they ask each other and now we watch movies online only and there are many things that usually before use to happen people use to do get-to-gather and now there is no time for people they use internet for communication for shopping also on internet it has made possible and there are many thing to discuss but i also love that eighties days
