I once bought a 70s truck. I went and looked at it and took pictures. As my son was looking at the pics he asked what the window handles were and I told him it's the air conditioner. He then saw the ash tray in the center console and I asked what he thought it was, and he said, the place to put your sunglasses. :picard

:lol

And if someone quizzed us on a bunch of stuff from the 40's and 50's we'd have just as many wrong answers.

Not sure why folks get so incensed and surprised that they are now old and young adults are young.

I can bet if in a similar situation, you could have answered the questions about the 1940s and 1950s.

Maybe if you studied history and slang of the time, but the equivalent of specific inventions like a Walkman, and especially involving slang from the time would throw most folks. There is absolutely no reason for a kid today to know what a Walkman or AOL is/was (unless they noticed it while watching "Back to the Future" with their parents).

And I wasn't talking about us, but most folks out there our age watching that video.

I don’t believe that. Most of their stuff was still in use when we were kids. From our generation to the next there was a massive jump in technology, making a lot of things obsolete.

Oh, and incensed? Really?

I prefer outrage to incensed.
 


Jesus Christ. This generation is way too dependent on electronics. We used to just throw rocks at each other.

If I’d have done that when I was a kid, when I regained consciousness, I’d be reconsidering my actions.

Shit, I sighed at my dad once and got smacked upside the head.

The electronics aren't the issue here, it's the parenting.

The kid is screaming like a lunatic and the parent is like, "babe, calm down".

When kids can misbehave without consequences, that's not the fault of the electronics.

Yes and that's where parenting gets hard. In the short term its easier to give in to the demands and calm the situation. In the long term that leads to an older child who behaves like this.

I think the over attention to the electronics is a separate issue.

The behavior that kid was demonstrating is a parenting issue. In this instance it was about electronics, but it could have been about a bike or shoes or whatever else.
