Gen Z asked to name this 90s electronic device, and they are dumbfounded

[Diondon]

Funny enough
This afternoon, watched first episode of stranger things with my daughter
She thinks shes old enough to watch, tells me she wont get scared

She was dumbfounded when the girl was talking to her boyfriend on the land line....corded, the coiled type

Being able to appreciate the value of things because you've seen the progression

 

[Hater Eraser]

You could have said 8 track.

Nah OG Mixtapes ..

I’m 31 and I remember my dad showing me one of those brick cell phones and having the same reaction. Of course they won’t be familiar with tech they’ve probably never used.

 

[Dont@Me]

This generation doesn't know shyt and They're all a scourge to this EARTH that need to be REMEDIED!

 

[Tribal Outkast]

We get it, these kids don’t know old stuff lol. Guess this is cheap content that gets clicks though so

 

[god shamgod]

I knew what 8 tracks were and that was before my time. I’ve never used one I grew up on cassettes & cd’s

Gen z just a dumb oblivious generation

 

[winb83]

When I was a kid I knew what an 8-track was and by the time I was born in 83 they were displaced by cassettes. I'm surprised they don't know what a VHS is. I know you can't buy them but people still have VHS / DVD combos in their homes and people still have VHS movies.

These people don't have grandparents and great grandparents? All they use are landline phones and they have corded phones.

These young katz also have scrambled brains

Cant lie growing up in the social media era and being overflowed with information and general bs 24/7 must take its toll. I'm really happy that I grew up in the 90s, not only for nostalgic reasons but also because I feel it somehow was easier on the brains. Just by being less exposed to...everything.

It's an ancient device not relevant since 2001, which predates the birth of much of Gen Z.

This. That's why I'm not gonna hold that against them.

 

[MrLogic]

And

ask us about stuff from 1970's and 80's


we get it old folk and young folk exist in the world

color me shocked

How many of yall even know what a telegraph machine looks like? How about a mimeograph machine?

I mean, I know what a record player looks like and they were already obsolete when I was a kid

 

[BlackMajik]

These kids are dumb as fukk
