I remember my teacher lamenting: You will be the first generation that has to pay some corporation for entertainment.
He was talking about how e.g. swimming in a river was replaced with a swimming pool. (This was before facebook etc were popular)
- datavirtue 2y agoDamn. We used to visit Hocking Hills here in a Ohio when I was a kid (I'm still obsessed with the place and visit often). The trails are usually a long a creek and have several falls at the trail waypoints. Everyone would stop and swim, the waterfalls would be full of kids and whole families. I would refill my canteen from the creeks. Swimming is banned now and there are no people playing in the water. You hike your ass into the valley and walk for miles over rough terrain in god-awful heat. The kids hate it. When I was a kid I couldn't wait to get back there and sleep in a wet tent all week in a primitive camping area so I could go on these hikes.
