Modern technology is awesome and it’s only getting better, faster and smaller.
But as things change, some technology we grew up with will not be passed down the line to the next generation of geeks.

Here are some things your kids may never know about:

Inserting a VHS tape into a VCR to watch a movie or to record something.
3-D movies requiring red-and-green glasses.
The buzz of a dot-matrix printer
Floppy discs
Phone books and the Yellow Pages
Typewriters
Putting film in your camera
Finding books in a card catalog at the library
Having to manually unlock a car door
Having to get up to change the TV channel
A physical dictionary
Finding out information from an Encyclopedia
Doing bank business only when the bank is open
Swimming pools with diving boards
Not knowing who was calling you on the phone
