All these video games didn't exist. I wish they did.

Holy cow there is too much to write. Pong (early video game you could hook to your tv) came out when I was about in 9th grade and we thought that was pretty cool!!! My kids would laugh at it. There were no computers, no VCRs, definitely no dvds!!! I remember getting a colored tv Dang, I am ancient!!!

i would say all the electronics but i guess the biggest would be a parent that cared about their education and a parent that shows affection.

Each other (I'm an only child). Internet, cell phones, I-pods, Playstation 2 and many other things.

My DH and I constantly laugh about the vocabulary our DS has that we did not at his age -- download, MP3, DVD, etc.

Of course, I remember when hair dryers were not portable, and 45's were what we played on our stereo! Cell phones, are you kidding?

We didn't buy movies -- they came on TV on Friday nights!

And, I did not have a 3" plastic action figure for every TV show or movie ever made! We had green army guys and plastic cowboys and Indians!

I agree with all the electronics, probably the biggest thing for us right now is DVD's of all their favorite movies/shows. We haven't felt too much of the other stuff yet since our girls are so small.
