Every waiting room, gas pump, queue line, and restaurant has them now.
Do we really need to be entertained all the time?

My boys love it. Me, not so much. Kids seem to require more to entertain themselves. The boys behind us is more old school. He builds forts, etc., and uses his imagination. I love it when my boys play with him. They come home tired, sweaty, dirty, etc.
I remember sitting in the window of a local service station with my brother and mom while something was being done to the car.
There was no waiting room.
It was intriguing watching the guy working on the car.
Or standing in line waiting to get on rides at amusement parks, by the time you got on, you had formed a bond with the people around you waiting to take on whatever beast you were about to get on.
We entertained ourselves.
And you didn't dare say you were bored.

I would put my kids outside and tell they couldn't come back in until they were smelly and dirty.
Then they'd get a backyard hose shower.

I agree. Can we just have peace and quiet in some places? I can't stand some blaring TV. Last time i was in getting my car serviced and it was blaring some stupid show. After some people got up and left, i quickly shut the thing off. Annoying. Everyone has phones to look at now We don't need them!
I can't stand them at the gym. Turn on your ipod and put your earphones in! Why do I have to have the TV blaring in my ear! Even with my headphones on, it's so freaking loud that i can hardly hear my music.
When my kids would say they were bored, I'd tell them to find something to do.
On their own. I wasn't going to entertain them.
My cousin, however, has raised her kids constantly doing things. Sports, activities. All day, every day, scheduled. Her kids don't know how to entertain themselves at all.
I have kept them a time or two over the years, I'd put them outside with my kids and they'd look at me like they were lost.
Mine would be riding bikes, climbing trees, and drawing on the pavement and her kids would ask what they were supposed to do.

Kids don't know how to imagine anymore. I find that incredibly sad.
As a kid I fought monsters, walked on distant planets, and had epic space battles. I battled pirates upon the high seas. These are things that modern kids will never do.
I usually respond to what ifs with "What if we all die in a giant nuclear explosion"? That usually ends that, lol. My point being that if the whatifs happen, what are we gonna do about it anyway!! lol
Ya, ya. We are crabby Germans, so, we all "get " that kind of humor so yeah i probably damaged them!
Long trips were more fun cause we would start with a what if and take turns expanding a story from there.

They tell me they need to eat dessert first in case we're hit with a meteor. Not buying it.
Our family doesn't do dessert on a regular basis. as a kid, I truly didn't know people had dessert every night. I thought it was just something special you got when out to a fancy restaurant
I try to make some kind of cake or something every few weeks.

Me, too. Or on your birthday. The boys seem to think it's an every night occasion, but nope.
