Growing up in the 90s was, I now realise, marvellous. I used to go out with friends, having to be home as soon as the street lights started to turn on. We played all the time, outside, football, at the park, running around.. whereas now it seems as though all children do is play games online and sit at their computers or televisions. I never, ever see children playing outside where I live anymore, and when I was growing up the streets were always full of us! It was such a lovely atmosphere, but I suppose you don't know what you've got until it's gone.
As far as social networking goes, it was non-existent. My age group got our first email address made for us by our school in 2001, and until probably about 2004 when MySpace was used, that was absolutely it, and hardly used anyway.
