I think my evenings now are absolutely different than they were about 10 years ago. When I was a child, we didn't have things like phones, TVs, or laptops, so we needed to play with balls or rocks, climb trees, and play with friends every day. But now, in the evenings, I am always studying and doing some work, and I meet my friends less than when I was a child, so we can't keep in touch as much.
