I decided to research what makes other people nostalgic for idea generation. For this survey, I asked both people my age, as well as people older than me
Here are a few examples of things that people around my age (16-19) found nostalgic/ reminded them of childhood memories)
- Climbing trees
- Kids Toys (Furbies, Slinkys, Slime, Loombands)
- Board Games ( Connect 4, Twister, Snakes and ladders, Monopoly)
- Playgrounds
- Trampolines
- Colouring Books
- Cartoon Network
Here is also some screenshots of the replies that I got.
For the people older than me (40-60)
- Arcade games (Pacman, Space Invaders, Galaxian)
- Geometric patterns
- Bright clothes
- Old wall paper
- Old carpet designs
I talked to these people in person so unlike the younger responses I don’t have screenshots of their answers to look back to so I wrote these down in my notes app when I was questioning them.
