100 Things Kids May Never Know About
Friday, July 24, 2009 at 1:10PM
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.
