Okay, like some of my other posts, this one might not directly relate to our class.
Well, this past weekend, except today, it was particularly rainy.
And no, this is not a post about the weather again, although it was really nice today.
Anyhow, I spent this drag of a weekend watching reruns of the hit show Dawson Creek on netflix.
The show first aired in 1998. I mean that just sounds ancient.
So, the show is based around the lives of four teenagers and all that entails. I just found the show to be so interesting because of how much the world has changed since then.
TV shows today are more focused on sex, alcohol and drugs. If you watch MTV for a day, you'll view episodes of Teen Mom, 16 and Pregnant, Jersey Shore, and the latest addition to the reality show family, Buckwild.
In Dawson's Creek, cell phones weren't a necessity, and you actually had to talk to people, face to face, if you wanted to see them. And I'm sure social networks were not as prevalent as they are today. Facebook was not even created until 2004.
I don't know if it is just me, but the 90's seemed to be a lot simpler.
