The Discordance Between Toys 30 Years Ago and Contemporary Ones
I vividly recollect the times when I was a small kid…I was very active, I seldom lingered in the same place for more than several minutes, save the times when I ate or slept. I was always running around the house or in the yard. When I wanted to go anywhere, I never walked, I always ran. And if I had friends with me, everything was a competitionI was even more energetic. I had blond hair (which after a while turned brown, and I hated it the moment I discovered I wasn’t blond anymore), I was little in height and my family said that I was like David Lee Roth from Van Halen.
Everybody loved me, and I loved them all, but what I enjoyed to the maximum were my toys. And I played with a great number of toys, because Dad had to travel abroad very often because he was an important politician, and he always got me something when he came home. I had an awesome collection of little action figures which I was playing with in my little tree house. Not to forget the fact that I owned many kinds of sports balls, from handball balls to kids’ baseball and basketball balls. My friends oftentimes came to my home for this reason and played with my toys all day long. I had board games, toy guitars, toy police vehicles, toy television sets. Evidently, they were all fake, and you could only play pretend with the TVs, cars and phones. But we a lot of fun with that kind of stuff, as those were times when the toys were only designed to look like real things, they were not expected to actually work.
Well, I am a really tall 40 year-old man now, and I have a 7 year-old child that has got his daddy’s awesome looks and blond hair. Yet, things are not the same as they were when I was little. The toys these days are extraordinary. I can’t believe how every toy must be electronic in present day. The majority toys I got for my child have complex circuits inside, or even software that make the simple activity of playing with a toy really different from what I was used to when I was his age.
For example, the Fisher Price camera for kids is an invention that I would never have thought would be available to kids when I was a boy. You can make real pictures that you are able to store on a laptop’s hard disk. And it’s still just a toy! It’s made especially for children less than 10 years of age, and it is hard to break. You can bang it on the wall at will and it will survive. Oh, if only I would have had access to that sort of toy a few decades ago…
My kid is crazy about this Fisher Price camera. He even uses it in the water, making pictures of his feet under the water. Who can imagine what they will think of next? Maybe when little Dave will have kids of his own, he’ll give them toy space rockets that will actually bring you into the atmosphere and back again, just for fun!

Pyromania $8.04 Def Leppard’s rock sensibilities shot them right to the top of the charts in the ’80s. On their third album, Pyromania, the band reconciled new wave melodicism with heavy metal and catchy hooks without compromising any of its edge. The album has sold over 10 million copies, due in part to heavy rotation on MTV. But even without their ubiquitous television presence, anthems like “Rock of Ages” and … |

Music from the Motion Picture Purple Rain $3.60 Maybe this music by Prince & the Revolution will never quite sound as, well, revolutionary as it did in 1984 (and nothing else has ever sounded like the extraordinary cooing and fluttering of “When Doves Cry”), but it’s a pop landmark in Prince’s Artist-ic career. The hit movie was really just a big-screen showcase for Prince to perform these songs (some of them in tear-the-roof-off “live” ver… |
