I’m never terribly fond of this generational divide argument. Those kids in the picture would have loved to play with the toys the kids in the living room are playing with. I know this can also just be taken as showing the change of technology with time, but it inevitably leads to criticism of how the new generations waste all of their time on these gadgets. It doesn’t do anything but breed discontent and disharmony between the generations. I can admit that sometimes it’s perfectly reasonable to blame the past generations for mistakes, but not when we’re getting down to these types of critiques. Do I envy the youth of today for their easy access to the internet and the electronics they have? No. I think it was cool to grow up in a time when computers and the internet were becoming more ubiquitous. I remember a childhood of having no internet and one of having internet. It gives me perspective. And this has gotten a little rant-y, which it shouldn’t because it’s a puzzle merely showing the evolution of children’s toys.
