Everybody, even among adults, enjoy adventures. In 2012 McCarters, a Canadian family, has chosen an unusual kind of adventure. They decided to spend a year living as if it was the 1980s. Alexander McCarter, the father of the family, was really concerned that his children were obsessed with technology and spent too much time indoors playing I-pods, mobile phones or surfing the Internet. He wanted them to experience what life was like in his youth without gadgets. His children went to the library or consulted encyclopedias if they needed information; they used paper maps when travelling; they watched movies using a VHS-player and listened to the music on the radio. They even wore vintage clothes and old-fashioned hairdos. Nevertheless, the experiment was successful: the family has become closer and friendlier.
