Funny Thought About Technological Future

yizuman · 06-09-2011, 10:12 PM

We all hear stories about kids asking about technologies that they've never heard of whereas some of us are old enough to either remember it or has heard about it.

So what do you think in your lifetime will hear kids ask about some piece of technology, electronic or manual, that they're gonna ask, "What's a <insert name of item>?

Prolly for me, I envision kids will ask sometime down the road in my lifetime will be...

"What a telephone?"

"What's a VHS Player?"

What do you think kids will ask you about in the future?

Deaf kids will ask: "What did you do before VP?"

Comes to DVD, I would think 'Ahh, the good ole days!'

yizuman · 06-09-2011, 10:40 PM

I'm also think they may also ask

"What's a typewriter?"

**saywhatkid** · 06-09-2011, 10:47 PM

"Why do they say dialing the phone?"

"You actually used 4-buttons controller to play game?"
"How fast was it to load YouTube video in your time???"
"What's iPad?"

Every time I see a movie where they mention an Ipod, I feel like the movie is going to be terribly dated years from now.

What was an iPod?!!?

Grummer · 06-10-2011, 04:33 AM

what is downloading? how come did you have to wait? what was world was like before digital, did kids really play with soccer? that wasnt a video game? no wait what was before reality game?
isnt digital as old as maths? --they might even start asking what is math?? !
what is a re-charge , what is that thingy called - did you say plug, never heard of the word plug....imagine this remark to be made in the world of wireless electrics - copper coils concealed in houses/buildings wall for provision of electricity..

logic would properly have taken over maths...

My dad had one of the first Betamax. It was a top loader. We had a later version.

Worse than that, I had 8-track audio tapes!

We also had an original Pong game.
