Things the next generation won't know about that we'll always remember

What are things that you once took for granted as normal every day things that you think your kids probably won't ever know about except in museums and history books, or things you already think are near that point.

For example, the beautiful sound of a dial up modem:

C'mon how precious was this sound to you at one point.


Or something simple, like telephone books.

Smoking and non smoking sections are restaurants.

Payphones

Antennas on TVs

Glaciers...............wait what


So what'd you got?

 

books. I remember going to the library as a kid and getting high off the smell of all these books I got to check out. Electronic books are going to ruin that for the next generation.

 

That soda used to come in glass bottles. It still does right now but this is about future generations right? Whats a Glacier eh???
I wish I could I hear dial up again, I mean i just did but I wish i could again.


Anyway nice thread and good video evidence.

 

maybe horseraces?
maybe remotes?
maybe the slot machines that actually spin?
VHS tapes

 

newspapers, magazines, private planes, 2 stroke motorcycles, cars that when you get on the gas go from mpg to gpm, optical media, any wired network connection, list goes on...

Ive seen a floppy cant remember if it was 5.25 or 8" But what is a BBS.

 

I think I missed pogs I was born to early or late or was it just right. They look like fun. Ever set them on fire?

But I used too watch Doug alot. Cool show but Skeeter was kind of weird, and patty was ugly. But good show none the less.
