Oh the irony! We worked so hard to create technology to give us free time... but technology has/is eating all all free time! Internet, smartphones, texting, and 200 channels on TV!
When I was a kid we vacationed... In Kansas where my grandparents lived... and we drove there, without video game, DVD's, or MP3 players... we had to (gasp) look out the window at the scenery or play card games.
My brothers kids grew up vacationing in Hawaii, that doesn't suck but I feel bad because they will never know what it was like to catch frogs in a drainage ditch, ride a horse without a saddle, or catch fireflies in a jar.
