Our children won't know what a record is!!!

Or a tape cassette, or a video, or camera film and good old fashioned photo developing.

We've just cleared out our loft and thrown all records/tapes and videos as we realised we no longer have the means to play any of these things! Its unreal to think when my 3 year old is older i will have to explain these old fashioned things to her.

What else is there that they won't know of? Life before computers and the internet?

I've never actually owned any! Parents have lots though. I think CDs sound so much better!

Mine laugh at the idea of a world with no remote controls - that my Dad (Grandad) used to tell me to get up and change channels (you used to say "turn over", didn't you?)...and there were only 3 channels anyway Grin And I can (just about) remember a time when there were only two channels.

And they can't belive there was a time when at certain times of the day there was no TV - that we would have the Test Card with the girl and the blackboard. And I can't quite imagine how I managed without 'on tap' children's TV - when ds1 was small there was no CBeebies and we just used to turn on for Teletubbies at 10am.

I am a teacher and a couple of years ago a pupil brought a record to school and laid it against the radiator! He was bewildered when I told him it would melt if he left it there!!

Oh yes marthamoo, 3 channels and no remote. That will be a shocker when i explain that one to dd! " what you mean you didn't have cbeebies all day long??" NO dear it was a luxury to watch things in colour! Smile.

Yes southeastastra, but unless theres a dj in the family, children are unlikely to see them are they?

Yes true - I also suspect that our children's children will never know what a CD is!

Funny old world, isn't it:):):)

southeastastra · 19/06/2006 23:40

we've got lots of them (although we are trying to shift some on ebay!)
