The 1960s
My first house was very different from my parents' house. The furniture was very
colorful, and there was a lot of technology. We had a telephone and a TV. The TV
was black and white, and there were a lot of different programs, but there weren't
many channels. We had some modern appliances in our kitchen -
a fridge, a freezer, an electric stove, a toaster, and a washing machine, and
we always had a vacuum cleaner.
George

Inthe 1990s, a lot of my friends had TVs in their bedrooms. TVs and other
electrical items weren't expensive, and Ihad a TV and a video player in my

BACK TO THE 1980s

In 2013, Canadian couple Blair and Morgan McMillan started to worry about their
two young sons, Trey and Denton. The boys used a smartphone and a tablet, and
they were always inside - they didn't want to play outside. Blair and Morgan wanted
to change the situation, so they decided to live like a family in the 1980s for a
year. They stopped using cell phones, tablets, the Internet, and cable TV!
Life changed alot. Blair and Morgan stopped banking online; instead, they went
to the bank in person. They used an old-fashioned camera, not a digital camera.
At home, the family listened to cassettes and watched videos. There was an old
games console from the 1980s,and the children played Super Mario Bros. on that. Ninte
Tendo
And they loved it! For their vacation,the family traveled across Canada using a unrer
LUE4N PEVETEm
map, not a GPS.

Some things were hard. Blair lost a business partner because he didn't use a
computer or cellphone for his job. It was difficult for the family to communicate
with their friends and relatives. They had a phone, but all their friends and family
used the Internet or social media.
But a lot of things were better. The family saved a lot of money. Also, they enioyed
spending more time together in the evenings and on the weekend. The boys didn't
play with their phones and computers all the time - they played with their toys in
the living room, and Blair and Morgan talked on the sofa or watched 1980s
TV programs.
