I was born in 88 and grew up in the nineties. My folks weren't rich and I think with less technology it was a bit easier not needing expensive electronics to fit in or do my work. I didn't need a computer until I entered University in 2006. I do like the fact that cellphones are popular now which makes communication easier. I remember having to find a payphone to call my dad or being stranded and not knowing how to contact anyone. I also prefer now is how easy you can access information. If I had YouTube back then I wouldn't need extra classes. Lol. Other than those it was pretty cool. You experienced having a black and white television to color, land lines to cellphones and the development of so much new technology. One day you're in the arcade playing street fighter, the next day you're playing it at home. I was an only child with strict parents and the 90s was still enjoyable.
For me to say it was better....I didn't have to worry about bills etc. back then so it was better but I'm guessing it wasn't so great for my parents, everything is simpler when you're a kid.
If I had a chance to live in that era again...Our island has a lot of crime now compared to back then, things were much cheaper then also. I wouldn't mind going back but I don't think I'd stay. I'd like to visit and reminisce and smile at the joys of my childhood and see how things have changed but I think that'll just be for a period of time.
Sorry it's so long.
