Recreate the scene of you as a young person using some kind of technology–in the broadest sense, it could be a toy, tool, well, anything you can put in your hands. Recreate the same scene now, matching as much as possible.

Redo your early tech/tool days!

@creating @woodpunk Unfortunately I don't have access to a Tonka truck. When we were kids, we had a TV remote that worked by ultrasound. We discovered that we could make the channels change by spinning our Tonka truck wheels really fast. #kindergartentechhacks #tdc4763 #ds106 #dailycreate

As a child I used to wrap myself up in blankets and sit on the sofa to watch TV and knit. Nothing has changed

I used to do the same! Only difference is I would crochet. 🙂 Props to you for knowing how to knit!!

@MaeB16 @creating @woodpunk Do you still crochet? I do sometimes, I knit more often

No😭 I wish I still did. I haven't since I was a kid! Although, I would love to pick up this hobby again. It was always calming and relaxing to me.

@MaeB16 @creating @woodpunk I find it relaxes me as well – and stops me from doom scrolling. I gave up for a while as well – but you never really lose your crafting skills so you could pick it back up!

This was a perfect example, I use to do something similar but with an ipad.

In the early 2000s I used to love my TAMAGATCHI and my Nintendo ds. (I also loved playing games on my dad's Nintendo 64!!!) Now I do most of my technological activities on my iPhone. Currently, my favorite game on my phone is Monopoly GO. I'm hooked.

@creating @woodpunk @tdc4763 When I was a kid I would play the Nintendo wii non-stop and one of the games I had was the Beatles Wii Rock Band which was a wii game that came with a rock band set of drums, a bass, an electric guitar, and a microphone. The mechanics were much like Guitar Hero. I think that this was the start of my love for guitar which is something I pursued from middle school to college!

@creating @woodpunk #tdc4763 #ds106 I loved gaming since I was a kid and my first system was my ds lite. Now as an adult I play on my nintendo switch like every day

My first technology was a crayon. As you can see from my reading journal, I advanced to colored markers by age 10. As you can also see, I couldn't spell fer poop in 1974. And I sure didn't have any comments or nuthin to say about the books I read. Interesting to note the Gale Sayer book among the other titles. Anyone remember Gale Sayers? How about Brian's Song?
Anyway, to heck with electrical techno mumbo jumbo.
Give me back my crayons!

I used to play the Wii so much growing up and always remember playing it in my living room. It was between Wii Bowling or Wii Basketball every time. I have it with me in my apartment and will play it with friends often, but playing by myself had me taking a stroll down memory lane.
