DO TEENS KNOW 1980s TECHNOLOGY? | React: Do They Know It? - Zábava
Born in 1980 and remember all of this stuff like it was the coolest newest tech and didn't think we would ever have anything better haha
One day all of our tech is gonna seem old and outdated too. Kids in the future will be laughing at the technology we use now
I was born may 13th, 1980 and I loved my childhood!!! Omg,the Barbies, and Bigfoot ruled my life..I was half girly girl and half tomboy.lol
@@mquiroz90 Yes,yes I am. And I definitely agree with you 💯.
You and me both!!
FBE in 2030: "Teens react to first iPhone"
They can do that now.
Yep
I was 12 in 2007 and I’d only be 34 or 35 when that would happen and would make me feel so old they’d be like “what is this.
“Why isn’t it detecting my brain waves what is this, YOU HAVE TO PRESS A BUTTON!?”
Ipod
I'm 57. I was like these kids when my parents showed me old tech, like reel-to-reel and 78s. Going even further back, my grandpa, who was born in 1902, showed me an item from his childhood. I knew immediately what it was...a coffee grinder....from reading. He was amazed. LOL
When I started work, we had to hand make our own forms to fill out. We used 1 piece of paper to do that. Now we print them out in one second and do that 5 or a dozen times to make them better. Now we use 10x the paper with the computer. When I first started working, deforestation was a major concern people had. Now we have the entire world wasting paper on computers and nobody gives a second care about forests. Frankly, I am surprised we still have trees based on how much people was freaking out about it 30 years ago.
4:19 “Hit me up on my brick” 💀💀💀
i love how she jumped straight from a walkman to an mp3 player - shoutout to my 90's kids with discmans - where the cd jumped everytime you moved too fast!
And the scratches, so many scratches on my hits for kids CD :)
Peggy Allen Yeah, and the fancy Discmans with memory so you could have a few bumps and it didn’t notice. Oh, God.
@@jericoba except when you overloaded the memory and they completely froze instead xD
@@jericoba And the fancy "anti-skip" technology! OK, I think it must be the read buffer you are talking about. We could never afford one, though.
These episodes should really be titled "Dear viewer, Try not to feel old"
So true
I was born in 82. I recognize
all those old tech and am using the tech we have today. We used vcr and were there when internet was born. I dont feel old. I feel proud to live in both ages, the before and after internet.
Being born in 1977 watching this is a trip.
1981 for me 😂
...I expected them to be so much more aware for some reason...
They didn't even realize VHS (I used to watch Disney on VHS),
then when they pulled out the floppy disk I legit went "Ooo floppy disk"
I was never exposed to this tech as a kid but I know way more than these idiots could've ever known. I'm just lucky that I have always had a fascination with older technologies and how they led up to everything we use today. I know how to use a rotary phone, and I know how to play a cassette. The only thing I don't know how to use is how to boot up a program on a computer running BASIC, regardless of whether if it is on a tape or a floppy.
I knew basically all of them except the spell one, I may be a teen but it’s called growing up poor and around older generations
Wow! My three year olds at daycare know all about VHS tapes, cassettes, and records! I’m all about the old tech and I love teaching them what life was like when I was a kid!!!! The 80s ROCKED!
Object: (does literally anthing)
Jordan: ( jumps back in total terror)
I was dying at how scared she got
I was born in 2000 but all this is familiar to me because it wasn't the trend to get all new tech in our country at the time. People used old TVs and VHS cassettes as long as they worked.
Same here
That's very admirable. I wish it was like that in the US.
I was born in 1998 and i grew up with VCR even if it wasnt used that much anymore
I was born in 2001 and we had an old black TV until 2008 and also our PC had Windows 98 till 2007-08. We did not have a VCR player and a walkman though
That's what a lot of us poor kids did too. It's not just y'all. Only the rich people through their money away in the US. But everybody else they kept their shit until it broke. The only bad thing is after the 90s they stopped making quality products. And started making products that had less of a shelf life so that you're more likely to buy more stuff from them.
"It was like this.. to an mp3.. to the iPod".
When you forget about Cds.. despite the fact that they still exist in your generation. lol
Yeah, she forgot about the Discman.
9:10 "Ooh, that's my jam....it's just static." That had me rolling.
I'm old enough to remember getting excited when a lot of this tech was released, and now kids are looking at it like it was carved from stone by Neanderthals.
The save icon in Microsoft Word is a 3.5 in floppy, not a 5/14 in floppy. In the icon, the rectangular portion at the bottom is the metal slider, which 5 1/4 in floppies do not have.
No one knows the struggle of when the the VHS Tape got tangled up and you had to undo it manually 😭
Snowy Cabin facts
"i bet only like, 2 people will get this joke"
Not all who watches this are that young, been through all that hassle.
@Snowy Cabin ughhh casette tapes and the eraser end of a pencil. Fun times.
Yeah I used to sneak porn and freak out when it got stuck in the vcr....
Uh, correction. The floppy disc shown here is not the MS Word save icon. The first floppy discs were 8", then 5.25". The save icon is based on the final iteration of the floppy disc that was actually called the 3.5" floppy diskette, which actually wasn't floppy because it was enclosed in a plastic housing much sturdier than its predecessors. They also came in multiple colors and included custom color coded labels too, a stark contrast from the all black enclosures and plain white pockets used to store or transport the older floppy discs.
The immediate successor was ZIP discs, which were quickly replaced by digital storage media like CDs, DVDs, then Flash Drives or Thumb Drives. Now, even those are dying out as online (aka, cloud or web) storage is now mainstream with mobile devices able to access the Internet from virtually anywhere.
I'm born in 2006, why do i know how to deal with all of these better then them...
Literally nobody cares 🕺🏽
@@polysteveshusbandandboyfri644 did anyone ask your opinion? Iťs a comment in which he is expressing his opinion, thaťs what the comment section is for.
@@simonhorak k
because these are like the dumbest teens they could find
I actually love the 80s tech, it’s kind of magic
She called the contrast/brightness a sun emoji lol!
Jim Feig Contrast is the half white / half coloured one. So the one she mentioned is just the brightness setting and referring to the sun actually makes a lot of sense. As our light bulbs come from being able to have (day)light when it’s dark, mimicking the sun. Brightness is exactly that: the amount of light entering our eyes.
That was funny and sad at the same time! I mean every smartphone today still uses that "sun emoji" to indicate the brightness slider!!
She called the brightness dial a sun emoji. I feel very old.
You should not feel old. She should feel stupid. The brightness symbol still exists today in modern smartphones and laptops.
Who remembers "upgrading " from a Walkman to a discman, and then walking on eggshells so the cd don't skip? Lmaoo thoes were the days!
I wasn't fancy enough to have the Sony brand, but, yes, so exciting when you could play CDs.
@@kathleen109 Sony? Haha I grew up in Hungary. We had all and only chinese knockoffs lmao! It was still a good time! Or when dvd first came out!
hell yeah
@@Emilthehun - Trust me, mine were Chinese knockoffs, too. :-)
@@kathleen109 lmao! Nothing wrong with that!
4:19 “hit me up in my brick” 🧱
Even though i love Marlhy, there is nothing more heartwarming than seeing Jordan getting excited.
Kids today will never understand how important 10 second anti-shock was for my Sony Discman.
“JUST HIT ME UP ON MY BRICK” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Uchechi Egbuchulam for realll yooo😂😂
"hmu on my brick!" LMAOOOOO
6:55 ...... how she doesn't know what a hard drive is , hard drives are still everywhere 😂😂
I think they take off their thinking caps before recording these shows
@@nicholasa5066 ..... I hope so 😂
I always wonder: why does it seem so hard for them to operate buttons on various old tech players? Probably every single media player in existence, whether in physical or digital form, has got controls with icons based on these walkmans/VCRs/tape recorders and similar (now I also wonder: who actually used them first?).
We're so used to capacitive touchscreens and soft buttons
This is why I like teen's react regarding the 80's and 90's better than kids react regarding the 80's and 90's.
They're not familiar with it, but they don't insult it, calling it trash and instead respect it for what it was at the time.
They even are intrigued and want to learn more about it sometimes.
Completly agree: older technology is very fun in the sense of how they managed to make the mechanisms completely mechanical, except now its just a pcb some chips ( computer ) and yeah , with a few exceptions.
Talk about feeling old, and I'm not yet 30... But I remember most of those things (born in 1989).
Same here but I'm 31
Same, born 1990 :)
Same! I was born in May ‘89 and I knew all of these. Haha
Gee, I just love it when people under 30 are all like "I"m so old". I guess if your "felling old" that makes me (at 44) downright ancient. So thank you for that.
"Hit me up on my brick" 😂😂😂😂😂👏🏼
Kids are so lucky these days. She say my parent just give me an iphone 10....
back in the days we can only get a gift on your Birthday or Christmas. A toy or game for the whole year.
Having grown up in the 1980s, I love watching these, because in a twist of irony, I remember that it was us kids, (back then) that had to show our parents how to use the VCR, My father was baffled by it, but bought one anyway. We figured it out quickly. But media is so different now, completely digital.
I'm 33 years old and I STILL remember VCRs. I pity anyone who can't recognize them or know what a VHS is
Yes because not knowing how inferior technology works is such a shame.
@@Meloncholics Not so much inferior but rather...somewhat simpler tech
“This is a computer, I think?”
Oh my goodness....
“Hit me up on my brick”
That’s the most 80s sentence I’ve ever heard in my life but I love it
The save icon in Word is a 3.5" floppy, not a 5 1/4 one.
I still use my VCR when I'm nostalgic. Mikaela forgot to mention the portable CD player.
Toy Story and Guardians of the Galaxy, teaching kids about ancient Tech.
4:18 “HIT ME UP ON MY BRICK” 😂😂
My first VCR was a top-loader like that one and I thought it looked like something out of Star Wars when it popped up. Still looks cool as hell.
I got about 200 VHS tapes plus a VCR, but I never had a VCR like that one
Before internet. If you wanted lyrics, you hit stop, rewind, play and wrote down the words line by line... Those were the days!
Sometimes you still have to do it that way .. xD
I used to just listen over and over until I had them memorized.
Sometimes they had the lyrics in the cassette tape but more often they were always ALWAYS in the CD cases... i used to love that!!! The booklets.. ?
Listen to a song & follow along with the words so you knew them better... ahhh those were the days...
@@ShadyBear420 I'm old old school, CDs were new after i graduated high school lol cassettes did have the lyrics if you got lucky, that was always a plus.
In 30 years, there's going to be a reaction video of how weird, large, and basic an Iphone was.
Weird? Yes. Basic? Yes. Large? Naaaah. Smartphones these days are twice bigger than the first iphones. And tbh it frustrates me as hell >___
Walkman to mp3?! Noooo! Walkman to discman to mp3
RIGHT???
We shall let this slip. Discman never was as popular a name as Walkman
MiniDisc
@@RainerChan lol I was living in the country, never saw one til they were on the way out spread
*Walkman (Cassette) to discman to CD to mp3 to digital.
Kids today will never know the relationship between a cassette and a pencil.
Haha... Pencil with cassette, I know
I'm glad they don't have to deal with that annoyance.
All kids today understand the relationship with their fingers and their nose.
or a cassette and the pinky :)
The save icon is the 3.5 floppy, not the older 5.25!
My university was cleaning out a store room in the comp sci building. They found a really old dusty 8" floppy drive from the 70's!
Yes, the 5.25" floppy was phased out long ago which is why the current save icon is brand spanking new 3.5" floppy! Ha ha!
The save icon is designed after the 3"1/2 floppies, the one shown with the IBM is a 5"1/4 one.
Yea, that floppy is not the save icon. What you have there is a 5,25" 360 kB or 1.2 mB disk. The save icon is a 3,5" 1.44 mB disk.
4:19 *"Hit me up on my brick"*
LMAO
If the world ends and there's no electricity the sonny walk man is the only way to listen to music again.
Needs batteries.
Unless you don't have batteries
So stuck up on batteries😂😂😂😂
I remember when you went to Blockbuster & rented VHS tapes 😊
Don't forget to rewind ... Or just get an rewinder it take ten seconds
I liked goin to blockbuster. it was a ritual get out of house, look for movies with a friend and sometimes running into heighbor/classmates/friends, and get snacks for movies. Now I go to library to rent DVDs for free if I don't wanna spend money on streaming a flick.
I'm probably younger than all these people and I know EXACTLY what everything is.
I’m 13 and I know how all these works as well lol
me too bro
Wow so it’s all about YOU. Congratulations
@@fezzik7619 he was only stating the fact that he would know about that stuff and probably he would have a mom and dad that would`ve taught him all about that stuff
“Hit me up on my brick.” 😂
hmpf... they'd never know the relationship b/w the pencil and the cassette
Or if you didnt have a pencil, the pain associated using your finger.
Ah, that's something I do not miss. When rewinding a cassette that way didn't straighten out the severely folded parts of the tape, my brother would very neatly cut out and splice the tape.
Jordan getting attacked by the video player has to be my new favorite FBE clip
In South Africa we don't call it a VHS and vcr we say we're going to put the video in the video machine lol
LOL, that's funny. In Bangladesh, we knew the VCR and VCP but never called the tape a VHS. It's just video cassettes just like the smaller musical ones are audio cassettes.
Teens: Do they know it?
Me: Try not to feel old
My Walkman was a treasured possession
i still use a walkman. i grew up with a walkman and cassette tapes. best dutch invention ever
Begium, it was invented in Hasselt
@@robinpunselie8253 wait i said it wrong. philips in hasselt created it. because the company of philips that created it was settled in hasselt belgium. the creater of the cassette tape was dutch. his name was Lou Ottens. so yes technically it was made in belgium. but the inventor was dutch. and it was made in a dutch company. so it still is a dutch invention.
@@robinpunselie8253 Dont know if you are from belgium and if you speak dutch. but if you do you can read more about it in this article
www.bndestem.nl/brabant/brabantse-vondsten-lou-ottens-de-bescheiden-uitvinder-van-het-cassettebandje~accdfd9b/
or you can just translate it. dutch to english is easy to do with google translate
@@metalvideos1961 Natuurlijk spreek ik Nederlands, ik heb ook een onwijs Nederlandse achternaam 😝
Oh zo, dan is het inderdaad een van oorsprong een Nederlands product
Goeie muziek op je profiel tho💪
I was born in 95 but i was raised on everything 80s
Thanks Mom & Dad
Best time to be alive..best time period of films, best fashion sense, architecture was pretty great in neighborhoods and housing.. oh and stopping by blockbuster to get the best! The neon purple, red, and green lights are very nostalgic and music and soundtracks still used orchestrals in movies, even horror which is such an 80s thing to do. Favorite move by far is clue, and for actually set in 80s; Airplane without a doubt.
In 1973, Motorola showed off a prototype of the world's first portable cellular telephone. That phone, which measured more than a foot long, weighed almost 2 pounds, and cost $3995, ultimately became commercial available in 1983.
"Hit me up on my brick" 😂😂
This brought up an excellent point: if they dont know what a floppy disc is, what do they think the save icon is?
Even though the save icon is based on the 3.5 inch floppy, not tho 5.25.
I love how 20 years ago these people would seem old, not knowing how to use new tech but now days they are young and don't know how to use old tech. It's entertaining to watch
"This one's the hardest one!"
_All you do is hit Play, you don't have to "turn it on"_
The floppy disk that they had is not the icon for save. The icon is of the 3 inch hard disk that came out much later.
Back then, computers were expensive when they first came out. Not every household had one
Right? We had a Macintosh back in the 80s but it broke...we didn't have another computer (a Packard Bell) until 1996. My best friend had like 4 computers in her house and I thought she was so lucky.
I don't want to live in a world where people don't know what a VHS player is
Or a BetaMax player, a short lived rival to VHS.
A VCR ya mean
@@cuteoctopi8413 A machine that plays VHS tapes.
Don't get them started on UMatic.
Or an IBM 5150.
Let's get the elders to react to this video
When she thought the old Mac was from the 50s but I remembered using those when I was elementary school I felt hella ancient 😂
Im old enough that i remember when VCR was still the only way to watch movies cause DVD didnt exist yet. Makes me feel old sometimes so many people my age or younger actually dont have experience with them and its kind of funny watching people be so confused
Don't feel old, feel good that you know the history and seeing how it has evolved from then to now. If we lost all tech today, who do you think would be able to survive without it?
Any early 2000's kids here that grew up with 80's stuff ? If so, you had a childhood. 🌻
6:38 That's what she said
6:44 That's what she said
"hit me up on my brick" LMAO
I actually got them all right, and I was born in 2000! The pros of growing up with your grandparents.
This kind of video's make's me feel old and I,m just 24 years old!.... I knew all of the tec.... these kids have a lot to learn...
I'm only 29, stop making me feel old...
“Hit me up on my brick!”😂😂
I'm actually shocked some people didn't know what a walkman was after Guardians of the Galaxy. It's really true, people really DON'T remember anything older than a few years anymore.
" Went from the walkman, to the mp3 and iPhone "
Sony Discman/Panasonic Shockwave: Am I a joke to you?
Zune anyone?!?
CanadianCarlos And the MD player!
I was hoping one of them would try to open the floppy disk.
“Hit me up on my brick.” 😂💀💀OMFG
You have a Nokia 3310? I'm jelly ;)
I remember that they used to have a mandatory computer typing class in school. They would have you put this cardboard stand over the keyboard so you couldn’t see your hands or the keyboard keys. It forced you to memorize where all the keys were, and how to type using the correct hand positions...I remember hating that class, lol
Someone should tell that girl about the discman because mp3's definitely didn't come out right after walkman.
or Minidisc after that, although granted that was more obscure.
Venom012 minidisc was better tho, hated taking a ride on my bike, and my discman stopped every second because of shocks. Even the 20-30sek antishock couldn’t follow up.
I know, she didn't even mention CDs at all! *facepalm*
I was nowhere near born in the 1980s, but knew everything here.
Same
/r/lewronggeneration
Try living without the internet, we didn't have that back in the 80s and early 90s
For the geeks watching this, I have to correct you on something: the 5.25" floppy is NOT the symbol for "save" in Word, the 3.5" floppy is.
I'm 14 and I love vhs technology it seems so cool,my father said in the 90s and 80s my father said it was the best time in his life,who else is young but obsessed with the 90s and 80s
im 13 and im obsessed with everything 80's to Y2K. it just feels so cool and strangely familiar to me.
@@PovSlacking same
Crazy seeing all the kids grown up into teens. That made me feel old. Seeing a walkman which I still used until 2001 made me feel vintage. Seeing the Betamax player and their utter confusion at it made me feel ancient. How can I feel ancient and not yet be 40!!!!
I just turned 21 and I also feel ancient.
I'm 16 and I got a walkman for Christmas. I got the Stranger Things cassette with it. Best present ever.
Have them try dial up internet. They'll freak out listening to all the noises.
jamnjam yeah, and then sit there waiting forever for the pages to load. Ugh!
did you just say dial the internet??
@@Random-sk6hm Yes, in order to access the internet you needed a landline phone and the modem literally dialed a 'number' to connect to the internet. It took a couple of minutes for the whole dialing/handshake/connection process.
Great watch. And those kids are very well spoken and were fun to listen to. They got excited over things I remember growing up with. Pretty cool.
I'm 22 years old and feel like a grandfather when i see these teens. I feel like 30 years older than them
Poes Kloes exactly
"That Mac I did looked like that was from the 50s!" ... Really, honey?
I used a lot of that old technology except for the cellphone, only rich people could afford those, and we didn't have a computer until the mid-90s.
Ah the days of MS-DOS. Me typing up school reports on my dad's old typewriter while my he did his job reports on the Compaq (before HP bought them). It lasted so long that when we replaced it, it was already Windows 95 time.
Old tech had such character. Modern tech, although cool, lacks the shear presence old tech had.
"This is a portable mp3 player...". Eeesh, way to make me feel ancient, Troy.
