They do seem to have such bad attitudes about it. This is probably one of those productions where the producers do this to 20 or 30 kids, and only show the 5 or 6 jackasses. If the video was just a bunch of kids acting normal, or showing some sincere interest in how the internet came to be, then who would really click on this video? Click here! People acting normal!

I blame the producer's parents.

Show your kids an 8 track tape or a 45 record. NOW you're old. They dont know what those are.

"There was no Google."

Points up the dizzying pace of technology. Imagine 20 years from now. Those little bastards won't be so snide then.

Being born in the early 80s, I've decided that the only people I can relate to on technological advancements are people that played Oregon Trail on Apple IIe computers at school.

Everyone else is old, or a young a-hole.

I've decided 1982 was the perfect year to arrive in the world. Awesome childhood playing outside all day, perfect age for the introduction of the internet, and now able to use the internet for good shite for the majority of adult life.

1982, god tier birth year.

Yeah, it came up last week actually. Another teacher commented about why she keeps our older 4Runner. The answer she gave was "because it still has a cassette player".
The kids were like "what is a cassette player?". My wife went out and got one and brought it in. They were amazed!


I'm so old..

When I was a kid we just referred to those as the "B drive floppy" because "A" drive was always mapped to the smaller floppies and "B" was the larger ones.

I remember having "Star Wars Chess" and it was was 12 5.25 floppies. Man I thought it was a huge game. I think that equates to 3mb?

We had one of those "Zip" Drives, they looked like a really thick floppy disk, and they could hold a hundred megabytes. A HUNDRED! WHAT WOULD WE EVEN FILL IT WITH?! They were the wave of the future, I was so impressed by them when I was a kid. Then CDs came out and they went into the box with the Betamax.

Agreed. Of course, they ARE in the 'I already know everything' stage.
The older they get, the smarter we get.
