This is hilarious! It’s amazing that today’s kids — who are digital natives and can operate advanced electronics and computers — have so much trouble with this rudimentary technology.
Some of the funny stuff these kiddos said:
If you don’t have a desk, where do you put this?
Where’s the mouse?
It’s like an “old television” that is very boxy.
Why does it have to make so much noise?
This thing [the computer] right here has nothing!
That is Too. Many. Steps!
Are there any programs on it?
There was no internet back then? How did you do homework?
It seems kinda worthless.
Computers today are kinda better.
This would be the hardest thing in the world.
I don’t get how you have to put print and nothing prints out.
Oh! It did it! I feel so proud of myself!
Finally! It took a thousand years!
The games are boring. The stuff is boring. And this whole thing is boring.
I don’t get it. I also don’t get the 1970s.
The floppy disk? Oh it was like a flash drive.
You guys are crazy.
Technology is awesome.
Yes it is. Enjoy this trip down memory lane.
