Hey! My kids know just about all that stuff, what do you think they learn in history these days
 The only thing my kids didn't know about, was them being the remote for the TV

How about remotes with cables on them? Or DVD players as big as a briefcase? Not so long ago...

Today someone older than me asked if Amiga have SDRAM inside. He thought that there was nothing before PC with Windows. He called my Amiga antique.

It is just an opinion from his perspective but imho calling something an antique does show some respect towards it. |

In the passage about computers, I'd add "Double Space" (the hdd comprimation routine to allow you double your disk space) and the "TURBO" button on computer cas.
And in gadgets: pager. |

When my son saw me on Bruce Lee on WinVICE C64 emulator, he said to me "That's easy" I told him to try before making comments like that, he did and couldn't believe how useless he was at it
He now respects me as a pure gamer 'cause he still hasn't beat me on it yet

computer related, I'd add "proper spelling" to the list the way things are going now  Or should I call it "discipline and love for your own mother language" ?
