Green Spaces Through Generations

by Delfina e Isabella

Green spaces have decreased over time. In this blog we will talk about pollution and climate change.

We talked to older generations and this is what they told to us.

They said that there were more green spaces in their cities when they were kids. They used to play outside a lot in parks and fields. There were more trees, now they are replaced by streets and constructions.

It was also mentioned that the air was cleaner before because previous generations cared more about nature because there were less pollution and less waste. 

In conclusion they want to advice to new generations to take care of nature, recycle and not waste water.

Teenagers today see more constructions and buildings than green spaces. Climate change is a common topic in all schools because now pollution is too advanced and we have more information. All teenagers know how to help the environment but most don’t care about that.

Did you learn about climate change in your school?

Sport Through Generations

 

by Francisco Kisner and Bautista Angeletti 

In this blog we are going to compare the difference between the older generations and new generations related in sports.

Older generation

In the past, people in Bahia Blanca used to watch sports on TV, listen on the radio, and read newspapers. Many also went to stadiums to watch teams like Olimpo or Villa Mitre. Football and basketball were the most popular sports, and it was a very social place.

New generation

Today, young people watch sports mostly on their phones or computers using streaming platforms and social media. They follow teams and players online, watch highlights, and get news instantly. For example, many young fans follow players like Marcos Moneta and watch his plays and tries online. They don’t go to the stadium as much as before, but they are always connected to sports in a fast and modern way.

In conclusion, the way people watch sports changed a lot over time. The old generation had a more traditional and social experience, while the new generation has a faster and more digital one. Which one do you prefer?

MUSIC THROUGH THE AGES

 By Sofi, Isa and Mai

Are there people that still listen to music on the radio now? We asked people from other generations and these are their answers:

Older generations listened to music on the radio or CD players, it was common to listen rock, pop, twist and reggae in English or Spanish. Some songs lasted more than 5 minutes, but most of them between 2 or 3 like now. Since there weren't many ways of entertainment, people listened to music all the time, or when they were bored.

Now, our generation doesn't listen to music on the radio or CD players, we do it just using our phones or the TV. We still listen to rock and pop, but the newest genres to listen now are trap, tech and reggeaton. Just like before, songs last mostly between 2 and 3 minutes, and some do last more. We listen to music when we travel, with friends, sometimes when we do homework and when we clean.

What changed the most about music between the generations are the lyrics of the songs, some genres and the way people listen to music. Do you have a radio or a CD player at home? Do you know how to use it?

                                  

 

Fashion through the ages

 

 

Before people used to wear more formal clothes, both men and women. The girls used to wear skirts and dresses, and then they started to use pants, but no sweatpants, they had to use formal pants. Also, girls used socks up to their knees. And the boys used to wear shirts because it was more formal than t-shirts.

 

Now teenagers use more sweatpants or jeans and the girls use more shorts t-shirts or big t-shirts and shorts. And the boys use normal t-shirts, and both use big sweaters. now clothes are more informal and more comfortable than before. I think that now the clothes are better because in my opinion they are more beautiful and comfortable.

                        Before:                                                                           Now:                                                                   

         

same free time, different activities.

I think you know that teenagers now don't do the same things with their Friends that our parents used to do with their friends. Generations before ours didn’t have phones or internet like us, so they needed more imagination to not get bored. They used to spend a lot of Time outside their houses with their friends. After school, they used to hang out with them, and practiced some sports, listened το music, or read magazines about fashion and clothes. Durning summer they climbed Trees, road bikes or spend time with their Friends.

 Most of teenagers now don't do these things. They prefer to be on their phones most of the day, and if they hang out with their friends they probably play videogames or watch a movie. But teenagers now also like spending time outside; they go for walks, play sports, and in the summer, they hang out with their friends and go to a swimming pool or the beach. Some teenagers now spend a lot of Time using Technology, and for their parents it can be annoying. I think it is not ok to spend so much time on your phone, and teenagers now should go outside more and spend their time in another activities.

Technology through the ages

 

TECHNOLOGY THROUGH THE AGES

 

In the late 90s when people started to use the Internet in Argentina, was a change in their. lives. Before, to research of communicate, they had to go to the library of send letters, but when the internet Appeared, it was like opening a door to a new world. It was very exciting for them.

 

Technology has changed a lot, in the late 90s, young people didn't Have a TV, computer, phones, etc. Can you imagine?. Only some people, at their Home, Had a gramophone If they wanted to listen to music, and a Radio to listen to the news. When the internet arrived in Argentina, it would take Forever to load a webpage, but For them, it was amazing to be able to access information from all over the world.

 

Nowadays,  technology is awesome, but sometimes, we use it a lot. I Like that we can talk to Friends and find stuff on the internet, but I'm Worried that we spend too much time on screen's and Forget to live in the real world.

                  Videogames through the times

Do you want to know how videogames were before? Well, it all started in the 1970s when videogames were born. So, how was it? Well, people didn´t have a tv to play with. Instead, they had to go to a specific place called “arcade” to play, and it wasn´t free. The videogames were slow and really pixelated and they were in a single machine. In other words, a machine could just hold 1 videogame. Some videogames that were popular were Pac-Man and Super Mario Bros. You basically could just spend all day there, but people weren´t too interested and were doing other things.

These were the arcades. A place to play old videogames. Not many of these places are still open….

Nowadays, teenagers are glued to videogames, they spend more time playing such videogames like Roblox, Fortnite, Etc… all in their phones. So, what happened to the arcades? Do we still have them in our generation? Well yes, but they aren´t visited as much as before, and there aren´t many in the world either. So, what do you think? Was it better before how it is to now?
