I was born in '80 and I feel like it was perfect in terms of balancing out gaming (NES in '86, then SNES, PC early 90s) and playing outside, having adventures with friends, biking around etc. Especially since (most) parents back then weren't too happy with kids spending too much time in front of a TV or PC monitor. I'm also not sure I would have read as much as a kid, which brought me a lot of benefits, if I were born 10 years later.
I really feel like I was born at the right time to enjoy both an "oldschool" and more modern era like childhood. Which is perfect imo.
As far as "online" gaming goes, does bringing your computer to your best friend's house for the week end as a teenager, spending an hour or two before being able to start playing due to the difficulty to connect two PCs together when nothing was "plug and play" count ? :P
