Bold of you to assume it's not the same now. I didn't have a cellphone until Inwas 12 or something and I distinctly remember playing "lay on the ground while a guy on a bike runs you over"
I didn't have one until I was like 14, but that was the late 90s. I guess it can still be the same out in the more rural parts of the country, but the suburban parts of the country have definitely changed.
I mean I lived in a rural part of Italy (read: small town) but I live in a city now and I do see kids playing in the square. Usually they're playing real life Among us or something judging by the "HE IS THE AMOGUS RUN!" screams.
American suburbia and places that imitate it are car-centric hellholes that are unsafe for kids and the American (or respective) government would do well to carpet bomb it and then build something decend in its place.
