About This Quote
When I was your age, television was called books. No matter how fancy the technology is that the kids use today, at one time, it was just as simple as flipping a flap over a book. Today’s kids haven’t had to wait until they were adults to see all of the amazing things that we had back in the day. The only thing we missed out on was the ability to read them ourselves.
