This weekend I visited my 2 1/2 year old nephew.
I took his picture and afterwards he asked to "see it".
I tried to explain to him that my camera wasn't digital and you couldn't see the picture after you take it. He didn't quite understand what a "regular" camera was.
I have never felt so old before. :)


It made me chuckle

Yep - my kids are the same way when they visit with my dad - who doesn't have a digital camera either.

That's awesome. Our kids really won't know what record players are, huh?

i was thinking about this kind of stuff earlier. i'm 20 right now, and when i have kids, they will most likely have no clue what the "dial-up" sound is.

My wife is a teacher, and teaches freshmen and sophomores. The other day the kids weren't paying attention and she makes a Yoda reference ("Never his mind on where he was, what he was doing."), and none of the kids had a clue what she was talking about. She goes "You know Yoda, from Star Wars when he's talking to Luke?" They were clueless. Their only knowledge of Yoda was from the new movies, none of them had even seen originals. She started asking them about other movies, 99% of them hadn't seen Ghostbusters, most had not seen the Indiana Jones trilogy, except for the last one (and very few had seen that).

Timmy, what's this giant steel box on a red wagon you've got for the math test, with all these gagues on it?

That's my ananlog computer teacher. My father won't let me have a digital calculator.

A few years ago my nephew went to my sister and said, "Mom the phone is broken. It's making a weird sound." He had never heard a busy signal before.
Another day the batteries died in the TV remote control. My nephew complained that he couldn't use the TV. My sister told him to walk up to the TV and use the controls. He had no idea what she was talking about... didn't know TVs had controls on them.

Not the sharpest crayon in the box, that one, eh? :p
