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?

eh, he was about 8 years old at the time.

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).

Never seen the original star wars? THAT IS SAD. The new ones weren't half the movies the originals were. I think she should have the watch the original trilogy in class(lol obviously probabily wouldn't go over well with the school), I'm 19, the movies came out before I was born yet I still have seen them many times.... As well as the Indiana Jones trilogy.
