The Numbers

Then 

       If you were born in the 90's, or shortly after, you probably know about the cartoons that were popular in that time. There was not a time where kids then would not talk about the cartoon that was on last night or last week, then going home and waiting for the next episode. As a kid I watched a ton of cartoons. Mainly I watched Cartoon Network but there were cartoons on all the time, in the morning before school and after school at 3 pm. It was the thing to do when I was a kid. Now days I notice it has changed. I would say because of technology, kids today do not watch cartoons any more. They are now looking forward to the next jersey shore or real world episode or who gets punched in the face next. Another reason why things have changed is because there are not a lot of popular cartoons out there any more.

     I know for a fact that if someone from born around the 90's and watched cartoons was asked to name some cartoons they watched as a kid, they could name about 10-20 different cartoons; where as today i am not sure if you could ask a kid today the same question and they could barely name 10. Maybe it is just the times moving on. Most people would say that cartoons are no longer cool. many people would say that everything for cartoons have already been done. who really knows the reason for the diminishing number of popular cartoons. all that is known is that it has changed dramatically and not going back any time soon.
