I would say that toys today tend to be more modern and technology-driven. For instance, we can play a series of automatic toys from cars to robots. Kids also have more choices and purchase toys from different nations around the world. However, in the past, toys were rare to kids due to our low living standards. Most of toys were hand-made, like a self-made embroidered doll by my mom, a material-made ball by my father.
Another distinction is the message that toys convey. I find toys in the past more educational, peaceful and environment-friendly. Meanwhile, toys at the present even arouse in children sense of violence and sex, such as toy heroes equipped with guns and other kinds of weapon which are very popular with young kids. Furthermore, several modern toys are even created out of materials that are poisonous, containing lead or harmful chemicals. Chinese toys are often blamed for putting children’s health in danger, though they are extremely cheap.
It is a really tough question. I hardly played toys when I was a little kid.
