100 Things Your Kids May Never Know About
is an article I found a couple months ago... MindyR: (via: Wired-GeekDad)
(it's a great article)
the ones I feel the most nostalgic about:

Audio-Visual Entertainment
# Inserting a VHS tape into a VCR to watch a movie or to record something.
# Playing music on an audio tape using a personal stereo.
# Betamax tapes.
# 3-D movies meaning red-and-green glasses.
Computers and Videogaming
# The scream of a modem connecting.
# 5- and 3-inch floppies, Zip Discs and countless other forms of data storage.
# Counting in kilobytes.
# Blowing the dust out of a NES cartridge in the hopes that it’ll load this time.
Gadgets
# Typewriters.
# Putting film in your camera
# Sending that film away to be processed.
# Rotary-dial telephones.
# Answering machines.
# Vacuum cleaners with bags in them.
Everything Else
# Taking turns picking a radio station, or selecting a tape, for everyone to listen to during a long drive.
# LEGO just being square blocks of various sizes, with the odd wheel, window or door.
# “Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father.” But they’ve already seen episode III, so it’s no big surprise.
# Hershey bars in silver wrappers.
