I believe that our grandparents and parents are very similar, but very different as well. They all used to spend more time outside than that we do now. They all think that we should go more outside and step out of the digital world every once in a while, that we should have some physical contact. Whilst that could be true, they all say that we should be in control of our free time and what we do with it.

Own opinion
We think that a lot has changed in spare time through the years: in the past children had a lot of free time and went more outside, now we have more school work and go less outside. We don’t think this was a very positive change, mostly, because we don’t want to spend a lot of time on homework and going outside is healthy. The things we can do in our free time has also changed, nowadays people have a phone, tablet and computer and sometimes go to the cinema. We communicate way more through our devices than earlier generations.
