Spanish. Lesson 75. El pretérito imperfecto. (V) Comparing things then and now.

In this episode we are going to talk about a different use of "el imperfecto". To put this in practice, I have brought a beutiful story for you.

"Cuando era niño, la tecnología no formaba parte de nuestra vida cotidiana como ahora. No teníamos teléfonos móviles ni internet en casa. Mis amigos y yo nos comunicábamos con cartas o nos encontrábamos en lugares previamente acordados. Jugábamos en la calle hasta que nuestras madres llamaban para cenar. La televisión era el único dispositivo tecnológico en casa, y veíamos dibujos animados solo una hora al día.
Hoy en día, la tecnología está en todas partes. Uso mi teléfono móvil para comunicarme con amigos y familiares, trabajo con un ordenador y navego por internet para buscar información. Los niños juegan con videojuegos y pasan horas en frente de las pantallas. Antes, hacíamos nuestras tareas escolares con libros y enciclopedias, pero ahora los estudiantes buscan todo en línea u online y utilizan aplicaciones educativas.
En mi infancia, escuchábamos música en la radio o en discos de vinilo. Iba a la tienda de música a comprar mis álbumes favoritos. Ahora, tengo acceso a millones de canciones con solo un clic en mi teléfono u ordenador. Escribiamos cartas a nuestros amigos lejanos y esperábamos semanas para recibir una respuesta. Ahora, enviamos mensajes instantáneos y hacemos videollamadas en cualquier momento."
