Do you think they would be able to figure out vinyl records and a record player? This is all normal. Every few decades through the 20th century, the technology changes and renders previous technology unrecognizable to later generations.
The difference is we were taught to respect our elders therefore we inherently respected things that came before us. I loved tying fishing flys with my grandfather and going to catch and clean the fish for example. Most of the younger generations couldn’t even bait their own hook (much less tie it on the line).
Thankfully, there are plenty of awesome young Chads as well so I won’t be that guy that says the whole damned generation is lost. They said that about us, too (correctly)…
That's hardly what I was talking about. I was talking about children, not you. I was suggesting that, like the kid in the video, kids in other generations often come across their parents' or grandparents' music collection and wonder how you play them. My kids found some of my old 8-tracks and were amused because they'd never seen one before.
Alas, that tends to describe much of today's youth. They've been taught unwarranted self-esteem without teaching them any actual critical thinking or reasoning skills.
Pressing record and play at the same time to record, is nothing a kid today would figure out. You need an old fart to show you that trick. And putting tape over the holes on the cassette to make it recordable again, if the tabs were popped out. That’s another baffling hurdle to overcome.
Those kids are fucking idiots. You don't need to have used something to still have a basic understanding of how it might work. Holding it up to your ear? That is nigger level retarded.

Remember those old cartoons where the character catches an old boot? That was me. Aside from the boot, I hooked plenty of water moccasins.
Fishing sucked, but the time spent with family and hearing old stories made it memorable.
