Second image should be the display on a fridge.
I understand what it is trying to say, but i don’t think kids this day are glued to the tv. It is more on phone and ipads
Looks like boomer humour. Also maybe early 2000’s.
The only thing on TV after school was Sesame Street, and sitcom reruns. So, if it was warm, we went outside and played. Yes, really.
Some kids had game consoles, but not everyone. And, the games weren’t that great, so most of us weren’t playing for hours. We did a lot of other things, too.
We went to play with kids who had game consoles
1984?
You can only play so much Pong…
In 1984 we had on console Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Frogger, Super Mario Bros (Famicom), Jet Set Willy, Elite (Amiga), The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, Kings Quest 1, and Pitfall 2, just to name a few of the many classic titles we had access to.
Interesting how experiences differ…
In our village there was exactly one guy who had an Atari console.
It had Pong and some super-simple shooter with a light gun, that was all.
Only got it because his dad acquired it cheaply from a friend.
We all tried it, had fun for a few hours, but concluded that it was not worth the effort (and the pricetag…)
Took another three or four years for gaming to finally become a thing when CPCs and C64s started appearing everywhere.Oh, that wasn’t just my collection. That was the entire family’s, plus like 5 other kids family’s collections. Admittedly, the smallest town I’ve lived in had a population of ≈20,000 people.

That’s ~factor 20 to my somewhat rural home town.
Might explain the difference!First time I visited a store selling computer games in the big city we drove to twice a year was in 1990, first visit of a video game arcade was in 1992 when attending senior high in that same city…
Outside? Like where kidnappers live? No thanks, I’d rather protect my children by absolutely minimizing their in-person social interactions and exposing them to as much corporate media as possible
… I think the point is that, although it looks similar at first glance, there actually is significant change.
