A ‘90s Teen in Lockdown! How would you cope?
Let’s set the scene…It’s the early ‘90s and John Major has just announced to the nation that we are in lockdown. How would a ‘90s Teen cope with this? I would say, this one would have been a bit of a mixed bag.
On the one hand, an early ‘90s teenager would be used to entertaining themselves because, of course, we never had any smart phones. This was not the late ‘90s! We never had any mobile phones at all! We had land lines and telephone boxes, remember?! We got locked into our favourite TV programmes, music and computer games, to a degree, but we had not yet lost the art of conversation altogether.
