2000s babies are the best. We had the best childhoods and best teen years ever. There was no such thing as iPads and tablets or even Kindles. We lived the technology-free life. We actually communicated face to face with our friends and family.

We would spend all day outside running and playing pretend. School was fun and recess was always the best part of the day. By the time we got to middle school, technology had started to make its way into the schools. We didn't use it much, but it was cool when we got to.

By 8th grade, pretty much everyone had a phone. We all started to drift away from actual conversations and got sucked into the world of texting. This didn't affect our elementary years, though.

Everyone looks at the 2010's kids and silently wishes they had the same amazing childhood as we did. But let's face it. They are completely consumed by technology. Truth is, they probably knew how to efficiently use an iPad by their 2nd birthday. The only time they talk to people face to face is at school. That is only because they aren't allowed to have their devices with them.

When you drive down the street, there isn't a single kid outside. They will grow up to be technology masters while I'm over her trying to figure out how to open Google on my school laptop. In just 10 years, life for kids has changed dramatically, but no matter what, I know that my childhood will always be the best.
