There are certain items I have a list of that I would love to take out into a town square, hand to GenZ types, ask what it is and just record their answers. This is one. Others would include flash cubes, 110 film, plastic adapter for the big hole on 45 records, what else can you think of?

I recently played the modem sound for my kids and they thought aliens were invading.

What about the sound of a dot matrix printer? I remember it sounding like a cat being strangled with autotune.

Ha yes I remember that

that this thing worked only while parking

😂😂😂

A roll of caps, for your … the ones I remember were red on one side ad white on the other.

4.25" floppy disc

I think what you mean is the physical manifestation of the ethereal “save” icon.

🤣🤣

Rabbit ear antenna or the UHF/VHF/GAME switch for your small B/W TV

The mechanical credit card copier?

AKA “Knuckle Buster”

As a collector of cassettes, here I am trying to find a Walkman that still works so I can plug that in to the aux cord in my car 😂

An 8-Track, a vacuum tube, a CB radio, and some other stuff I can't think of at the moment. My brain isn't running 100% this morning.

Old oil cans had to be opened like a soup can.

Remember these funnel / can openers

Hand crank can opener

A record store. You had to leave your house to buy music

The long cardboard box that CDs used to come in.

70s Virtual Reality Headset

I would like to say “Mom Jeans” ….but unfortunately they have returned to degrade my experience driving through campus on my way to work

Disc film, any camera film for that matter, 8" floppy disks, punch cards, 8 track tapes, rotary phone, crank car windows.

Honestly today, desktop computers! Young people we hire today, don't know basic computer skills, they are used to their phones.

How about a yard rake 😂😂

Ah a shovel, work boot and gloves.

Show them a VHS rewinder! That'll confuse them!

any hand tool

Had one, but the portable CD player would always skip like crazy when the car went over the slightest bounce ! 😂

This is a tad bit newer tech. This is the pinned iPod version for the car stereo.

I found this by accident while I was searching the AV parts for an extra cat8 cord. Made me laugh since I just saw your post

This was me with my phone in 2012.
