Summary
Happy Pot Luck Saturday! This week we're taking a nostalgic trip back to a childhood that looked very different from today. Before Google, smartphones, YouTube, and social media, so much of what shaped us came from the simple things: magazines in the waiting room, books from the library, classroom reading cards, puzzles at the kitchen table, and the freedom to be bored enough to let our imaginations take over. We're unpacking the forgotten ecosystem that quietly raised an entire generation and asking what we've gained, what we've lost, and what might be making a comeback. From the child psychologists behind the "Fun with a Purpose" philosophy to the surprising lessons hidden inside games like Hidden Pictures and Goofus & Gallant, Kev explores how these small moments built focus, curiosity, empathy, and a lifelong love of learning. PLS bonus! AI articles, the truth about negative online comments and bots and why physical books and magazines may be more attractive to this new gen.
