It’s sometimes said that those who were kids in the 1990s were the last generation to have a true childhood. This is because they came of age before the digital trends of the internet, smartphones, and other tech devices went full throttle.

It’s likely they would be a lot happier and more creative—even if they were forced outside for an entire morning and told to drink out of the garden hose if thirsty, as the proverbial kid of yesteryear was.
