I selected Gen X because we had actual toys to play with. Gen Y started the electronics/video game era and once that happened toys kind of went to the wayside.
gen x arent vrey reliant on technology
because the generation x dont born with technology
I am Generation X and I certainly grew up with more toys than the later Generations, who are more digitally inclined. Their toys are maybe more electronic.
Because we played with toys not technology.
Less tech or time online. Had to "make" their fun.
More toys and less technology - no ipad to play with only dolls, skipping ropes etc.
Because they're more established in their careers & can afford more toys (and more expensive toys).
They have more money.
We had more toys and went outside to play---these later generations stopped playing with toys early and hard to get them away from the computer/video games.
Children during Gen X had more non-electronic toys, we had to use our imagination and creativity whereas Gen Y the toys do it all and the batteries are included.
I want accept the generation y option that is by mistaked selected option!! I am favor of y generation also
Best of both worlds
2 working parents, divorce, parents felt guilty and tried to ease it with toys.
THIS IS ME
Physical things versus experiences are generally more important.
More money
Not as much technology. Kids had toys instead and collected them. They also tended to play outside more, which also included the use and play with toys, sports, bikes, etc..
Generation Y does have toys, just tablets. Gen X had the most toys and some of the best toys. Millennia's do not know the joy of driving a Big Wheel or just going outside for that matter.
everything is on gadgets now
we tend to be more a saver for the things we want to obtain versus the y generation that just buy everything on credit
because they have more buying power.
Rubik's Cube!
The toys made in generation x has been totally born, designed and animated in brain prior to drawing board and hence most of the toys have been creative and explained the principles of basic science.
The toys generated in generation y born, frequently altered and animated and posited in tinsel world through CGI(computer graphics imagery).
well, being a gen x myself. as a child we gen x had more toys to choose from to play with!!!!!!
No computers or cell phones
because gen y have access to games in the internet
We had real toys and went outside and played with them, We had real interaction with the world and each other. What we didn't have is a bunch of electronic ****. They claim "interactive" but it is so impersonal the humanity is practically non-existent.
In my opinion, toys as I define them were replaced by technology (Sega, Playstation, etc...); televised entertainment substituted for toys (i.e.; VHS/DVDs; PSPs, etc...).
Our parents had to buy us multiple toys, not one computer.
Generation Y has more technology, We who are Generation X had to go outside to play, not inside.
Generation Y seem more focus on technology
Generation Y doesn't have toys, they have XBOX, cell phones, and tablets to keep them busy. :(
Less electronics
I am of this generation and have more than I need.
generation x did not have the exposure to all the electronic games that generation y is being exposed today.
X still looking for a physical thrill
They may have their 3d video games, but we of generation x had the action figure.
Y was all about the internet and video games
less technology or virtual fun, so more tangible toys
Good Economy, parents were able to avoid more toys
there were no computers around.
O
Observation
we didn't have gaming options or computers that incorporated digital interfaces. We were the generation where TV shows were emulated in the real world by figurines.
Generation X did more playing and their successful baby boomer parents would have been better able to afford them. Generation Y kids do a lot more on computers and cell phones and the slacker generation Xers weren't as able to afford things for their Y kids.
Economic factors/ life stages
Generation y had more technology to satisfy them instead of playing with toys
Generation Y is more technical.
Generation X grew up in a time where activities were distinct and unique, and each thing was its own toy. Generation Y has grown up with multi-functional toys where a single toy can entertain completely.
**** ur mamas ****
most tech today is multi-functional contained in one device (smart phone) while gen x had lots of toys dedicated to one function.
X has more physical toys. Y has more video games
they have more monty
Gen X tends to be more self and pleasure focused.
they have more money
Less electronic gadgets
ipad and cell phons are not toys
X had a greater length of time than Y to accumulate toys
X would want more technology
Y just assume it exists
There were no cellphones, mp3 players, laptop computers or internets services. It was more outside interaction.
Because Y generation is always using Internet games as toys
The baby boomers spoiled generation x and left generation y in a crumbling world, and when we try to get them to take responcibility the call us self absorbed egomaniacs.
very selfish group, always needed to be entertained
The facination with new technology and the ability to afford it.
lachkey-kids, often left alone while parents worked, therefore, toys were needed for entertainment.
This generation had the fascination and the imagination for technology. This was a gift this generation had without majoring in math and science. They believed in themselves and the people that surrounded them. Their spirit was truly connected to the universe of opportunity.
Generation X had more time and jobs to buy the toys. Also the job market situation was not as bad during the early times of Gen X compared to Gen Y. Both Gen X and Y will be less material prosperous as the Baby Boomers and the Depression era grandparents. Gen X and Y will have to depend on their potential inheritance to get by.
The economy was a bit better then.
less technology
Define toys. . . Technology took away some toys
I am Generation X, and i noticed that Generation Y are usually glued in front of the computer. I know because my youngest brother is Generation Y.
Generation X has had more years to develop their personal wealth than Generation Y has and are able to buy the toys that they want with greater frequency. What their toys are may differ considerably than those of Generation Y (such as pool tables vs tablets), but the quantity of money that they are able to spend on their toys and the amount of time they have been buying things is greater.
As older people, they have more income to buy toys.
I don't know - just a guess.
The Gen Y was more focused on electronics as Gen X used still used mechanical type toys.
they have more money
because they didn't have the the internet and social media. They actually went outside and played.
Right
It all depends on what you call "toys"??
With the technology the ways it is there are more technical gadgets then actual toys.
It's was just before technology when toys were still toys and not video games or tablets
Less technology = more toys to cocupy time
there was no videogames or internet
because we had imagination and anything could be a toy!
We played outside or inside with toys instead of watching tv or having the option of playing games on the computer.
we didn't have all the technology then that is out there today. we had toys instead.
Data programs replace toys
More disposable income
I believe generation x has the most toys, because the children of this particular generation did not have laptops, I pods, or the internet as a medium of entertainment. Therefore, they would have more toys to play with that did not involve apps you could download, instead objects to actually play in real life.
More money to buy toys
best years for cartoons
21st Century Digital Boy
I can't read, but I gota lotta toys
pre technology related toys
Because for Gen Y the computer was the cabbage patch
Simon!
less technology
Age of exess. Not only more, but more expensive designer most important, having the latest and greatest. Most likely to have many "i" products. Do not value items, but number and brand of items. Gen X more likely to be the "droid". Looks for the technology value, expects higher results and considers function over form.
Less technology growing up. More toys needed to entertain children.
because we are more secure and like to show off what we earn.
Gen Y has more technology and video games. Gen X definately had more toys.
Gen xers have more valuable toys. But on the flip side gen y has more techie toys and are more spoiled in general, I would say
idk
Without the computer to play with and other tecnologies, kids had more toy's and they played outdoors more.
Gen Y doesn't need/want toys. All they need/want is their computer.
technology at then wasn't widely spread?
They were spoiled **** with high salaries and no need for retirement savings cause they had pension plans and they have no education so no student debt, tuition was cheaper, we are paying for thhe new buildings that are falling apart today but were brand new for them etc, etc, etc
The retireees should be highly taxed today for the advantages they had inj the past.
Gen X is older, and further in their careers. They have all the toys from when they were younger and get to afford all the toys of Gen y,with the ability to understand them!
Because we've been established long enough to actually afford those expensive toys.
Because we've been established long enough to actually affort those expensive toys.
