Selection of home activities without using the Internet

Remember the song "Chyfe"? “A bottle of yogurt, half a bar, and I’m home today.” At home today, not only me, but all of us. It is good that there is at hand a remote from the TV, a joystick from a gaming console or just a modern smartphone. I pointed my finger, there's video and music and food delivery right on the doorstep. In fact, you can not leave the house for days, the main thing is that incomes allow.



We're in the newsroom. "Site" They thought about it. What to do when you are bored at homeHow did people spend time without different gadgets and the Internet? Among us there are a few people who found Soviet times, and many people in the modern world came from there. Let us all remember how our parents, and ourselves, organized leisure activities in the last century.



What to do.

1. Photo albums
   The album with the old black and white photos will seem strange. But not so long ago it was one of the most interesting activities. My grandmother would flip through the pages and tell a story about each picture: that's how we knew the whole family history. Our stories are now stored on Instagram and Facebook.
   
   
   
   
2. Red October
   The so-called piano, which was found in Soviet apartments quite often. In those days, music was created the old-fashioned way, by pressing your fingers on keys. We were all afraid of novice pianists, but it was great to have a virtuoso behind the wall. What has become of these tools is probably not necessary.
   
   
   
   
3. A vinyl record player
   I still have vinyl records at home with fairy tales and popular music. Now they are worth nothing, but I remember very well the time when I included the Bremen Musicians after class. The era of vinyl players lasted a long time, until there were cassette tape recorders. It was a time without headphones when you needed to hear music.
   
   
   
   
4. Newspapers and radio
   The most important sources of information in Soviet times were newspapers and radio. All the latest news appeared primarily there. It took a lot of time to read newspapers, and radio plays and other interesting programs were often broadcast on the radio. Don't you remember?
   
   
   
   
5. Books
   Reading books has not gone out of fashion, but then it was a real mainstream. It’s hard to tell how much I’ve read in my life, especially during that time. What a wonderful publication! Getting stuck with a book, God, that’s great!
   
   
   
   
6. Drawing Another way to have a great time. Of course, he was more fascinated by the younger generation, but older people also enjoyed the applied arts. Something was made, invented, sewed, composed and created. Now we are surrounded by digital technologies that do everything themselves, just press a finger on a smartphone screen.
   
   
   
   
   
   
7. sewing
   It's more about women who remember those times. Sewing machines were inherited, with their help clothes were remade, new, and also beds, curtains and much more. In addition to a pleasant pastime, the sewing machine could give a small income. My grandmother used to take this machine out from under the couch.
   
   
   
   
8. Tea Party
   I still remember this beautiful tradition, when the whole family gathered for tea in the evening. With candy, drying, halva and candy Montpensier. Under hot tea shared news, impressions, ideas, just joked and laughed. We were really close.
   
   
   
   
9. Television
   Where without him? Lamp, with a small screen, with one or two programs, he necessarily gathered around him not only family, but also neighbors who did not yet have a TV. This often happens in conjunction with tea. It would seem that incredibly simple things could bring us together.
