Do you think life was difficult for people living back in ancient times, like the 1950s and 60s?

Question

I mean no internet, no iPods, no TV, no radio, no cars... what did they do for fun?

Answer 1

looking for ideas on what to do tonight huh?  lame.  

Answer 2

There was also no p**n.  And that's "internets".  (you make Charlotte very happy - thank you honey). ♥

Answer 3

Sock Hops! I smell a dance off

Answer 4

TV has been arould since the 1940s, so, right away, I would suggest you get some facts straight.

Radio has been popular since BEFORE the 1920s.  Cars, even before that.

Heck, I STILL don't have an iPod!

For fun?  Played baseball, football, went swimming, read books, danced to rock & roll, surfed, rode roller coasters made of wood, went to movies featuring aliens, gangsters, war heros, hot women.  Ate tacos, burgers, Chinese food and apple pies.  Made out with my girlfriend, watched the city lights from the foothills and played my guitar.  Went to parties and sneaked a little mind altering substances including beer and Mary Jane.

I dreamed and planned for a future. Earned a little money which I spent on junk food, music and clothes my parents didn't like.

After that, I fed my dinosaur and went to sleep in my cave.

Answer 5

No cell phones! yikes! no cable tv. Wow! thank god I didn't live way back then!!

Answer 10

As a child of the 50s and 60s, I mostly played with my Barbie dolls, listened to the transistor radio, and watched black and white TV. I rode my bike, played tin can alley, played softball, played in the creek, hiked in the woods .... pretty boring, huh?
