I'm 26 and i feel old....
I was trying to explain to my 5 year old what a landline was when he asked about the phone jack in the kitchen. Lol. He just couldn't understand. We only have ever had cell phones since he was born. Imagine if i showed him a dvd or cassette tape!

What do you remember that would be foreign to your kids ?

I tried to explain to my son that we used to listen to music on large plastic discs and you couldn't bounce too much or they'd skip. That blew his mind but not as much as the idea of a phone cord. He just flat out didn't believe me when I told him that transatlantic phone calls used to cost so much that people would only talk for a few minutes a month.
