Life was definitely simpler back then, but we were kids and didn't have to deal with the problems that our parents or grandparents dealt with. We enjoyed going out and playing in the streets till dinner was ready. You looked forward to "The wonderful world of Disney " every Sunday night. You walked most everywhere, you loved when the good humor guy came riding by your house, and all the other good stuff everyone else mentioned. BUT, today, we have access to anything at our fingertips, we can get in touch with anyone using our phones, I can see and talk to loved ones from afar. The medical industry has advanced in leaps and bounds from yesteryear. Yes, you could get a hotdog for .25 cents, but our parents only made $40.00 a week. We had wars, epidemics, market crashes, etc. back then also. BUT the negative I can think of today is that this country is upside down. Right is wrong, and wrong is right and rewarded for it. The streets are more dangerous, and half the population has lost their moral compass.
