Kids Look At 1980s Mobile Phones And Have No Clue What They Are

That's a sad commentary on how little we teach children these days.

There are all sorts of things that I wasn't alive to see in use first hand, but I was taught history, and learned things. I wouldn't be puzzled at seeing a castle because I learned about them by reading history! I wouldn't be afraid of a steam locomotive either; I've seen pictures of them in books, and actual ones in museums.

I have to feel sorry for a generation of kids who will be so unprepared to handle life...

yea I know what you mean Speed_Daemon, education is so important and no just that but there been stuff on TV over past 30 years talking bout mobile phones etc that it does make you sad when watching that segment

happy new year btw

When I was younger, I remember it was hard to grasp the concept of anything happening before I was born, but obviously there was. I wonder if younger generations just plain refuse to accept that anything existed before they were born.

The ironic thing is that this is being discussed on a movie message board! When I saw my first "car phone" (way before cellular) I had already seen several similar phones in movies. Do these people refuse to watch movies older than they are, I wonder....

yea exactly My GF's nephew who was born in the 90's knows how 80's mobile phones looked+ car phones etc by watching old films TV shows and documentaries etc

the 80's had great technology as you know like CD players, Video Cameras, DNA[Fingerprints]

CGI,Computers, Sky TV, Flat Screen TVs,Sega+Nintendo,Commodore+Amiga PCS ,Atari still known in console+PC bizz today,Pagers, Washing machines, Laptops,Hand held games, VHS+Betamax

musical theatre was put back on the map in worldwide terms with likes of:Cats, Starlight Express, Les Miserables, Chess,Phantom of the opera,Miss Saigon,

those phones that would change colour when it started ringing etc

I agree with this whole topic, I don't have any kids yet but when I do have a kid I plan on teaching most of the things I grew up on in the 80s and 90s. I wasn't around in the 70s I still know what an A track is. I think kids today is just spoiled they don't need to look back and see what we had they have all this electronics to play with.

Hey blaque108 how are you long time no speak, And yeah exactly that is what I'm goin to do as well....I mean I wasn't around in the 70's either and yet I still know what an A track is, or the comedians Morecambe + Wise, I know they stopped in mid 80's but they were also well known since the 50's

Well we had all electronics back in the 80's + 90's as well

Exactly, and how are you I'm good.

I wasn't around in the 70's either and yet I still know what an A track is

I'm kind of thinking that you don't.
