Millennials Share 30 Things That Today’s Kids Have No Clue About, And They’ll Probably Make You Feel Ancient

Or getting ready with your food to watch a movie and realising that it needs rewinding

I know that feeling...

I once showered in 3 minutes during an ad break and came back just in time.

Pfft...I remember when there were like three channels plus one VHF channel you had to click the little switch in back to dial in.

You know, i've only experienced that at hotels

This joke has been repeated by soooo many people that is now pretty annoying

Worse than that, when I worked for a Microsoft outsource, I got to talk to a lot of computer tech. Best one was the tech at the University of Tennessee that said when their department first got computes with the 3 1/4 floppys that students were confused and taking 5 1/2 inch floppys and folding them over so they could jam them in the slot.

i live through the birth of these one... i grew up with the 5 1/4 (the large flexible one...) when i saw the 3 1/2 i was like... WOW!!!

I heard that one before.Don't copy the jokes of others

save is based on the floppy disk because you save things in it

OMG, it was so frustrating. I can't count how many times people yelled "GET OFF THE PHONE" coz if interrupted the internet and downloads.

These tweets sound like they’re taken from buzzfeed article

These were the day s when you really slow dial up intenet. You had to connect to a modem via a phone line and hear that screeching sound. And if someone picked up the phone the download would be cut off. I got around it in those dark day by having a 2nd line for internet.

haha!

A pain I know all too well. Dial up internet was a real Russian roulette at times. Or "Get off the internet, people are trying to call us"

I get that feeling, except I think it’s time for them to go home.

I am STILL a 2000s kid... born the last year of the 2000s decade ;)

Huh?

We say "roll up the window" too. When is the last time you actually had to roll up a car window?

Am I the only gen Z kid that has actually used a phone that you physically hang up?

So what do gen z's say now? Hang up sounds so natural to me. I never thought of it this way. But what do they say these days? "End the call?"

In my language, we use "put it down" and the kids still confused 🤣

Get a wall phone. That will teach them a thing or two.

Does this person know the word "niece"?

This is where "Dont touch that dial!" comes from. It literally meant don't change channels, because that dial was how you did that.

No it isn't! It's a fish tank!

I can hear the "clack" when switching. *sigh*

Isn’t it??

Never watched it

I never watched Dawson's Creek. That show was for my kids. (sigh)

It's not a classic is it. Personally I preferred Heartbreak High.
