Sam Fender Quotes

Watching my kids grow up made me realize that they would never know a world or a time without the Internet.

When I was a lot younger, my parents raised me watching classic movies.

I think there's a gigantic generation gap in terms of how people understand the Internet and how much they think technology is an important factor in social change.

I look at my son and his relationship to technology, and I think back to when I was six and how wildly different the world is in that regard. I see him using an iPhone and all this stuff, and then I think back to when I was six. We didn't even have computers in our houses at all yet. This is a huge gap between our experiences as children.

While the digital age has done so much to improve our world, it has dramatically changed our social structure, often further isolating us from each other.

I understand the power of the Internet, but I can't say that I'm there. I'm old-fashioned and living in a different century. I don't know. I just don't really understand the craze of it.

I remember, when I was a kid in the '70s and '80s, the '50s were really cool. And then the '60s were really cool. And then the '70s.

We live in the physical world, the age of the Internet, and it's very easy to disappear from view and isolate ourselves from the rest of world and become invisible.

Growing up with videos and YouTube, being able to see content from the '90s - music and games - that really helped me stay connected with the time before me.

The children of the 1980s were the last before a lot of things changed. We were the last generation not to have cell phones, not to have video games, not to have parents who worried if we strayed from the yard.

I remember a life before social media. I remember phone boxes, that's what I grew up on.

The '80s were a really different time for kids.Technology has changed so much of how we stay in touch and keep tabs on people.

I think the days before cell phones, when it was dirt clod wars at construction sites, was a lot more wholesome and productive, to be perfectly honest.

When I grew up, there was no TV, nothing. The guitar could be my whole life. The kids today have Internet and TV and games and all that stuff.

After we got our first family car with a tape deck, my dad acquired exactly three cassette tapes: A 'Best of ABBA,' 'Private Heaven' by Sheena Easton, and the soundtrack to 'Xanadu.' I also unironically love 'Xanadu.'
