    Default Be Kind Please Rewind

    Let's talk about things that future generations (or heck, some younger people in the current generations) will know nothing about.

    I'll start with the obvious one: VHS tapes and VCRs.

    Related: audio cassette tapes.

    And floppy disks.

    "Dad, why are you playing that game with your hands? That's baby s***! You f*****!"

    I didn't raise my kids well...

    I always hate those "Share if you're a 90's kid and remember this!" when most the people who share or repost or whatever were born in like 98.

    Kids will never understand how exciting it was to actually have a handheld system, the original Gameboy. Heck I still have my original one, I don't know if it still works though. That was the coolest thing ever. EVER. It was cool to play mario on my tv but I could take my tetris ANYWHERE.

    Oh my gaw, tamagotchi. I just remembered about those guys. I had like 5. I had a Rancor one too xD

    I'm going to tell my kids and then grandkids that I remember a world before the Internet and blow their smurfing minds. Or they'll just be little trouts and call me old.

    Penpals!

    Edit: Rotary dials. I saw a blog post the other week that linked to instructions for how to use one. I shed a single tear and felt older than ever before.
