I'm this old...

We also dial the phone and roll down the windows. I guess some phrases transcend time.

They save their data to a solid stste disc that isn't a disc by using the icon for a 3.5" floppy disc. They punch out at the end of the workday and fill out a timesheet later.

Yeah, we use a lot of terms that are no longer literally true and kids know what it means even if they don't know how the term originated.

I mean... People still say "movie" which was short form for "moving pictures"

They also have hardcopies of video games! Usually, it's a pretty updated library of titles. 2 week rentals, you just have to go back and check it out again. Totally free.

Not all libraries are the same but if you're a gamer, you can try a nice collection, totally free.

It's shocking how apathetic many people have become to this. I don't want any kind of ad anywhere. When I have to use a browser that doesn't have my essential plugins installed every second of the experience feels like I'm taking poison damage.

There are ways to own very high quality movies. Those ways just happen to not be legal. Still less of a hassle than maintaining a physical media collection.

I do own a record player so I see the point of added physicality though.

Fuck yall not old, just told my 16 year old I had to tape something and he said and I quote, "Like record something?" He 16 and he knew what I was talking about. Maybe her kids just sheltered.

There's a piece of software we use at work and the save icon for that is a downwards pointing arrow and a CD. No one knows what it means.

Idk, my high school aged kid is using floppies to load software onto a piece of equipment in their shop class at school. It also accepts usb (but only at usb 1 speeds, and exfat formatted) .

The kids are into using floppies of different colors much like I was in my first comp sci class in high school.

It’s not ubiquitous but it isn’t quite as unknown as it was.

I mean I knew what an 8 track was in the 90s.

i still have both my blockbuster and hollywood video nametags. without a doubt the best jobs i ever had, and now that i'm in my forties they're probably the best jobs i'll ever know.

That seems more like "these kids don't know basic things and/ or their names" rather than "these kids don't know colloquialisms from previous decades"

Paper is still everywhere and staples are everywhere. How do they not know what a stapler is?

Paperclips are for quitters.

They still use reel-to-reel tape drives on mainframes to store data. Just like they did in 1967.
