100 Things Kids May Never Know About

i recently came across this post in wired magazine's geek dad section - the title of the post is: "100 things your kids may never know about." i love how telling this is - and how much it reveals about this digital generation.


these are a few of my favorites:



  • Shopping only during the day, Monday to Saturday.

  • Phone books and Yellow Pages.

  • Newspapers and magazines made from dead trees.

  • Not knowing exactly what all of your friends are doing and thinking at every moment.

  • Privacy.

  • Waiting several minutes (or even hours!) to download something.

  • Getting lost. With GPS coming to more and more phones, your location is only a click away.

  • Answering machines.

  • Phones with actual bells in them.

  • Fax machines.

  • Vacuum cleaners with bags in them.

  • Cash.

  • Libraries as a place to get books rather than a place to use the internet.

  • Watching TV when the networks say you should. Tivo and Sky+ are slowing killing this one.

  • Recording a song in a studio.
