I'm so old I Remember when:

[AntiqueB]

Legos that didn't come with a build manual.

I used Tinkertoys to make a playground for my parakeet.

They also didn't come with safety warnings.

Is it possible to injure yourself with those? Paddleballs I could almost see it.

I guess my severe lack of coordination at an early age put me at risk. I remember doing something not right several times and whacking myself with them.

Just thinking about all the cool things we had and did as kids, (that didn’t require a touchscreen, computer, or internet) makes me smile and a bit happy.

We had books.

Legos that didn't come with a build manual.

I used Tinkertoys to make a playground for my parakeet.

Oh yeah, I had Tinkertoys. You reminded me, how about the original Erector set?

They also didn't come with safety warnings.

I care about safety when it comes to power toous and fire and several other things.

I helped some kids I was babysitting make a water driven generator out of tinker toys but alas we were missing some necessary parts.

 

[Rick589]

The toys of our generation were nothing short of ……….AWESOME.

The toys of our generation were nothing short of ……….AWESOME.

But, we had electric trains with a remote control, and legos, and even RC cars.

Safety? That was the great thing about being a kid during our time, the element of risk.
