Day #9: Something that you miss (30 Day Writing Challenge)

I am born from the 90's. Back then, life is so much fun. From television shows to games to making friends to school, everything is exciting to me. I miss it. I miss the time when technology was not so advanced and when my area was only a small population. Now, technology has become very much involved in all of our lives and my area has become very congested with a lot of people. 

Since there is not Internet back then, life was very mysterious back then. Everything seems to be a first experience, as in there is little amount of people who you can ask in order for you to better prepare yourself for something like your first theme park experience and your first restaurant experience. When contacting with friends, it was either through phone which is calling or texting (where you have to pay monthly) and the occasional meet-ups. When finding entertainment, we switch on the television and change channels to see what's good or we would just watch a movie from a DVD or CD. We spend our spare time reading books or painting or drawing or whatever our hobbies are. You can life was simple back then.

But now, life is very much different from back then. As I grow into an adult, there are more responsibilities to shoulder and more pressing issues that we are now in charge of like study loans. There are more residents staying here compared than before and it has become so congested that it has become more suffocating to live in, what with the crowded buses and trains. And now there is a problem of addiction to technology like smartphones and computers. Don't get me started on the lack of face-to-face interactions between people who meet each other directly now. Yes, being connected is good but sometimes it can be a bit destructive and it strains on familial ties. 

So yes, I miss it when life was simple and there were hardly no worries. Just have fun and don't worry about the future.
