Childhood Today and Childhood in My Time

 

Childhood is an important period of life. People may think childhood does not change over time. However, childhood today and my time are different in two main aspects: technology and children’s safety.

Firstly, children today are more dependent on technology. Compared to my childhood, games played outside were replaced by technological games. For example, the children we see everywhere these days have tablets and phones in their hands. On the other hand, compared to my childhood, the safety of the time we live in is also in question. Children’s freedom today is more restricted than in my time. Families are sending their children out less for safety reasons.

 Secondly, in my time children were going out more and socializing with their friends. Compared to today, since technology was less developed, children were playing games with their friends outside instead of computer games. Additionally, in my time there was a safer environment for children to play outside. Families used fewer restrictions when sending their children out.

In brief, today and in my time, childhood is different for security and technological reasons. These days, childhood is more about technological games, and we see children playing outside less for safety reasons. I think children should be less exposed to technology and socialize outside more, but today’s security reasons do not allow this.
