Things Your Kids Will Never Know

[jason_h537]

I came across this on another site and thought it would be fun to bring here. What are some things from your life that your kids will likely never understand.

Examples:
Why modern camera's make a shutter sound
Why you make that hand motion to get someone to roll there window down
Why the save icon on your computer looks like that (floppy disc)
Blowing into your video game

What are some others you guys can think of?

Doing the cartoonish version of eating corn on the cob like a type writer going back and forth.

A walk-man or disc-man for that matter

VHS

Rewinding a movie, they might know what a VHS is but the concept of actually having to rewind a film will blow their minds.

Phones with cords on them.

Let alone this thing which I only barely remember from my dad's office back in the early 1990's:

Being able to smoke virtually anywhere you damned well pleased.

VHS

Funny enough, I have 2 VCRs, one plugged in and one for backup. Why? Disney movies are .50 at garage sales as opposed to $20 at any store for the DVD.

Pre-9/11 flying. Stupid ****ing TSA and long lines through security.

Yeah, I am sure no one ever worried about national security during the cold war.

Sending mail in general.

1. That I once owned something called Betamax.
2. That I once recorded all those cartoons on my VHS.
3. Nintendo 64 versus Sega 32 debates.
4. The terrible mid- to late- 80s music and 90s music. "Son/daughter, there once was a rapper called Vanilla Ice..."
5. My first computer: Pentium 60, which took ages to download a single picture.
6. My first pager.
7. ...

I'll come back another list later today. But man I sound old!!

LOL! My kids will know this!!

I loved when I would invite a bunch of friends over to play Nintendo 64 and we would stay up all night playing Mario Kart and Mario Party. Now with the Xbox 360 and Xbox live, you just use a mic to talk to your friends. It's not nearly as fun
