Blast to the Past

In the past, life was simple and was never as hectic as our lives today.  Not many people played sports or had extracurricular activities like an average student has today.  Adults didn't work as much as they do now.  Not many people have a lot of free time like myself because between school, sports, homework, and sleep.  Many high school students are involved in clubs and sports teams and it consumes a good amount of time out of their day.  Adults working full-time jobs are not home much.  Many high school students can drive themselves to places to meet up with friends.  Students will tend to be less social with their families and would rather spend more time with friends.  One thing that makes the today's would "modern" is how people communicate with each other.  Social networks and cell phones have made it easy to contact people through the web or texting.  Before the internet and cell phones, people would pick up the phone and talk to each other.  These days, not many words are exchanged during a conversation.  Forms of communication have changed.  It is a lot more convenient for most of the world, because not many people meet face to face anymore.  Skype is a good tool to use because people from across the globe or country can video call and talk face to face, somewhat.  A lot of Americans spend time on their cell phones because you can access the web and email.  Before there was email, letters were sent to people.  Our world is constantly improving technology so we need to do our best to stay with the times, but remember some of the other ways we can communicate as well.
