I am interested to know what life was like from the words of people who were still children then or they were from 16-30 years old.

Yes, at 10, just leaving on my bike for the next little suburban area three miles away was an amount of freedom we had that is considered neglect in this atmosphere. Things really started tightening up as we hit the digital age and suddenly every news outlet continuously warned of our murder and molestation.
This is such a salient point about how life has, and hasn’t, changed. Your kids could still very well go out on an adventure nowadays and be fine, as most adults still benevolently keep half an eye on kids. But we’re so damn scared of what could happen that we don’t trust the unknown neighbour.
Take away the phone and you see the world hasn’t changed as much as we fear it has (and in some ways it has, not totally discounting the modern world)
