Quote:Remember life when responsibility ended on Friday when school was over? I lived for Saturday mornings. I even remember when the new season of programming would start in August or September (this was back when summer TV was exclusively re-runs) and they would even have a Friday night primetime special about what new cartoons were debuting on Saturday.
I totally remember that! It was usually in early-mid September because I remember it coinciding with the school year starting up. But yeah, they would do a special Friday night preview of all the new shows coming on Saturday mornings...that was great.
It\'s strange for me to think that I\'m at the age when I starting to sound like my dad with stuff like \"It\'s not like the old days when I was a kid...\" but with technology advancing at such a high rate, we\'re experiencing things like that at a younger age now. I mean, I\'m 29 and my childhood seems lightyears away compared to kids these days...yet it\'s still pretty fresh in my mind too. Just look at the internet...I didn\'t even know what email was until college, and now it\'s so engrained in us that to be without it would be like taking away food practically. And that was just over 10 years ago...never before have things changed so fast than what has happened in the past 30 years or so. That\'s why I will always cherish my childhood as it was so innocent. I look at my daughter and wonder is she\'ll experience even half of that as she grows up...I hope so.
