Video of the Week: How Quickly Technologies, Like Us, Do Age
Posted in: Gadgets
Watch modern-day elementary school children try to make sense of the objects placed before them. Objects like record players, Atari video game cartridges, and rotary phones. How can you not love the boy who guesses that a floppy disk is some sort of camera? Or the girl who comments that the Nintendo Gameboy looks like a tazer.
If you remember much from the 80s or 90s, this video will not only remind you how quickly technology is evolving, it also may make you feel…old. (I was pleasantly surprised, though, that there was one item, shown at 1:39 in the video, that I wasn’t familiar with! I felt momentarily puzzled but a quick Google search told me the item was an 8-track.)
