I was listening to the soundtrack to "A Charlie Brown Christmas" today, and I remembered fondly how I would sleep in front of the Christmas tree as a child (because the lights on it also played music).
I remember watching cartoons and children's programming on PBS, going to the park often (because I lived right across one), being treated to my favorite foods quite often, and generally just being really innocent as a child, thinking that I lived in world quite different than it actually is.

Life without computers was so much fun
Learning long division made me feel like a badass

I always sucked at long division.

But I do agree that life without computers was better in so many ways. You spent time doing much more worthwhile activities, like hanging with your friends and family, reading, doing physical activity, etc.
