Kids toys from the past and current difference

For a year now, everywhere I go like having lunch or dinner in nice restaurant or food stall. I will see kids having their own ipad.

Last 2 weeks, I asked my friend who have 2 son aged 2 and 5 yrs old, why all kids having ipad rather adults. I feel like the purchasing power is actually the kids. He told me that without ipad, it is hard to eat without peace and make the kids occupied with movies and games.

But during my childhood time, I'm required to sit and not create tantrum even I'm bored during a meal time. If I try to be become a monkey (cranky behaviour), my parents will discipline me thoroughly.
In my whole childhood, I only have a baby doll in rabbit costume to play!! My house garden is my playground. I like to pretend the garden is my kitchen where I will pluck weeds or small leaves and light up candles under the plant pots and start cooking the weeds/leaves.

What I feel kids nowadays expect more things to be given to them on their feet than previous generation. Not spoilt but just privilege.
