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.

    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)
