[QUOTE="JG_RSA, post: 1130680, member: 25676"] I showed my cousin's kid (~12 at the time) a Laserdisc a year or two ago and it [B]completely[/B] blew his mind. Remember that kids these days hardly know CDs anymore. They'll never know the frustration of a skipping track and dirty/scratched CDs. I told him how I grew up without cell phones (got my first one in grade 11; friends had to phone the house phone or just drop by), no internet, no social media, no instant messaging apps, no quickly asking Google something, "streaming" was when we floated on the river on tubes, we only got DStv when I was in high school and you had to tape everything that you couldn't watch live on a VCR and hoped that nobody changed the channel on the decoder when you did, everything was in SD (and you were [I]amazed[/I] by it; no snow/interference!), a flat screen TV was when you accidentally drove over your CRT TV, surround sound in a home was almost unheard of, etc. He looked at my like I was a million years old... I vaguely remember our turntable (with cassette player built-in) when I was very young and cringe at the memories of how I abused the poor thing and LPs for my amusement. [/QUOTE]
