You kids today, you don’t know what it was like

Posted on August 22, 2009 by Charles Kuffner

And that’s a pretty good thing, as evidenced by GeekDad’s list of 100 things your kids may never know about – things like typewriters, relying on the evening news for all your sports highlights (am I the only one who remembers services where for a fee you could call a number and get a recording with more-or-less updated scores and game results?), and having to manually unlock a car door. My girls live in a world where whatever they want to watch on TV is available to them at any time, and where they can see and talk to their grandparents on the computer. I never fully appreciated the concept of a generation gap till I started realizing stuff like that. All I can say is I like their world better.
