What Our Children Will Not Do

The advance of technology is a wonderful thing, although we grew up with certain elements of which we were firing, we know the nostalgia of times past, even if not better.

Can you imagine all that, by these developments, our children are not going to know? For example:

1. Use a VCR to view or record a movie.

2. Listen to a radio cassette in a recorder.

3. Rewind tapes with a pencil.

4. Use the MiniDisc.

13. Send letters.

14. Not knowing what all your friends are doing at every moment.

15. The phone book.
