This is a cute video of children trying to understand technology from 30 years ago, from rotary phones and record players to the original gameboy. What’s really interesting is how they’re able to find new “uses” for each object, as well as that moment of excitement and amazement when they discover what each gadget does.
It’s funny to think how our high tech gadgets of today will probably be viewed by the next generation of children in the same way- who knows what an iPhone 4 will look like to children in 20 years! It won’t be as exciting to play with as an old record player though.
I’m 22 and I could identify everything in the video. Does that make me old?
Someone please check me, this is what I came up with (without reading the french)
0:20 Nintendo Gameboy Original
0:30 8 track cassette
0:40 Original magnetic floppy disk
0:55 3.5" hard floppy disk
1:20 external trackball mouse
1:40 portable 8 track player, the top thing is eject?
2:05 45 rpm vinyl record
2:45 rotary telephone (I LOVE THESE!)
