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.
