you darn kids with your fancy phones and
your fast internet her kids carry beeper
sometimes it’s a great way to connect my
family when i dial the satellite tone
beeper Jenny knows it’s time to call or
come home welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 things children today don’t
recognize eligible in the 47 knowing
what you’re talking about
for this list we’re looking at pieces of
technology or pop culture that were once
popular and innovative but have now
become obsolete due to the superior
technology of today it’s gonna change
your life in ways you can’t possibly
imagine there’s no set time period as
long as a child growing up today
wouldn’t recognize or know how to use an
item it is eligible number 10 phone
books got a serious added tumor from
quick think of your siblings phone
number did you know it right away
probably not cuz these days names and
numbers are in our contact list and a
phone call is a push of a button away
gone are the days when you actually had
to hunt down the person you wanted to
call by finding his or her city and his
or her last name in the phone book when
you need to know who what where when and
why let your fingers do the walking with
a file system yellow pillow you also had
to look up businesses rather than Google
the name and follow the phone number
soon fast Chinese tailor seven to eight
nine six three zero many area offense or
a better others pollen area cosmic dark
holes
back it seems like these days home books
are more often used as fodder to show
off your inhuman strength than anything
else come on you’re stronger than me
what you let me show you up on
television you want to get whacked in
the head with a phone book number nine
TV guides find out who censors what we
see and why in the new issue of TV Guide
ah the TV Guide yep even watching TV
used to be a pain in the ass
as he had to look up each specific day
find out what was playing what Shalit
was on and plan your schedule
accordingly fun all the shows hate to
see and the fast what’s behind what you
see you see kids before the internet
pirating Amazon and a host of other
providers weren’t around to allow access
to your shows whenever you want it not
to mention that now cable box has come
with a guide it’s just a push of a
button away record up to six shows at
the same time plus you can record in one
room watch in another too bad though we
kind of liked seeing which celebrity was
on the cover of this week’s issue listen
underneath the glow in the new
from the people who know number eight
rotary phones what’s the very first
thing you’d have to do to use that phone
I have no idea we’re going way back for
this one
even before touch-tone phones but they
still make those
there were rotary dial phones you may
recognize them from museums or old
people movies basically the phone had a
circle with finger holes representing a
certain button you had to tediously spin
one at a time to simply call someone for
convenience in dialing the letters go
around the dial in alphabetical order
and the numbers are in numerical order
thank God for Google he started going
out of style in the 1960s when
touch-tone phones came in touch-tone
service gives you faster calling and
future technology like banking by phone
so it’s best to skip your parents and go
straight to the grandparents for stories
about these relics there was a rotor and
you had to turn Engel you actually hated
people with zeros in their numbers
number 7 video rental stores imagine the
perfect video store it would have a
great selection right right over 10,000
videos remember what we said watching TV
was a pain that’s nothing compared to
watching movies at home
before instant access to movies you had
to get your car drive to the store
choose and then ping for a movie you
wanted to rent drive home and watch it
if they had the movie you wanted it all
excuse me sir I’m sorry do you do you
have Ghostbusters on VHS there’s no VHS
here buddy
after all that you’d have to drive back
to the store return it and then drive
back home again that’s not to mention
the ridiculous late fees if you don’t
make it back on time before the deadline
you may still find a blockbuster sign
somewhere if you go urban exploring
although it’ll probably be
unrecognizable with all the graffiti and
broken beer bottles poor blockbuster we
hardly knew ye
they’re closing the remaining threads of
stores which I think might raise the
question there was still 300 blockbuster
stores open number 6 pagers also known
as beepers alright you got the gun hey
y’all find a phone real quick before
well I’m a man deed I’m selling
emergency until the early 90s there were
tons of different pagers on the market
but once cheap and reliable cell phones
came along these wireless
telecommunication devices all went the
way of the dinosaurs you can switch off
I wish I could I’ve been waiting for a
phone call for seven years which funnily
enough is what you’ll be called if you
still use one alphanumeric pagers simply
displayed a phone number that you had to
call back while more advanced ones like
the two wakeboarding pagers could send
and receive early forms of text messages
stay in touch without disturbing anyone
a two-way paging an email from sky tell
this is nothing that a cellphone can’t
do though
so pagers are now the butt of ridicule
and comedy
yep-yep meetings started without me
number five portable audio players
Walkman and discman Sony introduces the
only cassette player as small as a
cassette case the incredible sounding
super walkman walks down the street
today using one of these bad boys and
not only will you look super cool but
also the sound quality and reliability
will blow you away
and sarcasm a Walkman or discman is a
portable audio player with the former
four cassettes and the latter four CDs
that would sometimes fit in your pocket
I can just imagine you guys like 13 year
olds just like suck life represented if
we’re talking a Walkman then we’d have
to deal with turning over the cassette
tapes once you’d reach the end of one
side so today you can fit thousands of
songs on a phone but on a cassette you
could only fit up to about 30 songs I
feel that people lived in the nineties I
really do when it comes to a discman it
would seem that it always started
skipping at the most inopportune times
because well they suck
in reality these portable music players
were usually bulky and inconvenient and
there was no shuffle on a cassette so
you better have made a really good
mixtape you darn kids with your 128 gig
iPods and phones take this in a
heartbeat now I want my phone number for
video cassette recorder also known as
VCR and VHS what pic is that what is
this before the days of fancy blu-rays
and 1080p high-definition video we had
VHS tapes and they were awful in every
conceivable way that’s why nobody’s
using it anymore
VHS ultimately beat out rival Betamax
despite the fact that the latter was
smaller and had better video quality
then there was the fact that you had to
rewind VHS videotape cassettes and
fast-forward them if you wanted to get
to a particular scene huh
nothing recording shows on VCRs was cool
but all older viewers of this video know
the frustrations of accidentally taping
over your kids first steps we don’t
really miss you VHS so finally compared
to how today you can record and watch
movies do you think it’s good that
technology got better or do you think it
would still be fine if we were using the
VCR I think it is so much better that we
have new technology and not VCRs anymore
number three developing photographic
film wait a minute it is singing along
the joys of old cameras in this video
you’ll see old cameras like your mom and
dad had you see they couldn’t see how
their pictures turned out until they got
them developed
that’s right you had to go to the store
or a photo lab and wait a few hours for
your pictures to be chemically developed
into a photo you can actually see like a
mini looks it’s a very nice camera
really mm-hmm
because well it’s been trying to get me
to go digital I mean oh don’t do that
I’d be out of a job it was only then
that you could finally check your
masterpieces and more often than not it
would only be to find out that the
beautiful picture you thought you took
was ruined by the flash or full power
flashes and one tiny cube we know
imagine a world where you couldn’t
retake the same selfie 100 times to get
it just right
horror but first let me take a selfie
number 2 dial-up internet access now
that I’ve gotten on the internet I’d
rather be on my computer been doing just
about anything it’s really cool isn’t it
amazing that you can watch this video in
HD without having to suffer through
buffering or having to make a sandwich
while it loaded yep this was absolutely
not possible in the 1990s thanks
broadband now let’s look up dinosaurs
what do you think
Compton’s encyclopedia or National
Geographic see kids we once had what was
called dial-up internet access something
that would make an awful mechanical
noise while it connected to an Internet
service provider
sounds like a fax machine and would be
painfully slow when you actually got
online and God forbid your mom needed
the phone cuz if she did it was back to
TV for you as of 2013 only 3% of
Internet users still use dial-up once
selected close your eyes and relax to
the soothing familiar sounds of a 56k
modem
I feel for you before we blow your kitty
mind with our top pick here are some
honorable mentions mid-90s the friend
says hey do you think by your mm you’re
still gonna be doing tight better than a
probably night all the power and
excitement of Nintendo right in the palm
of your hand
introducing Gameboy how lovely darling
what is it it’s a fax machine mother you
can send us letters by phone number one
floppy disk why panic when you can rely
on Mac cell super rd two floppy disks
you ever wondered just what that symbol
in Microsoft Word is that lets you save
the document you’re working on click the
Save button you’ll find it on the quick
access toolbar that little black and
white square would be a floppy disk
which at one point in time us older folk
would actually use to save our progress
on come on let go of my floppy by 1987
the 3.5 inch disk was all the rage
because it could hold an astounding 1.44
megabytes of data that’s pretty crazy
considering there are thumb drives today
that can hold terabytes of information
and such technological advances have
effectively eliminated the need for
these plastic discs and middle
maybe in a few years we’ll be laughing
in our measly terabyte some drives who
knows you got ugly do you agree with our
list
what outdated technology do you think
kids today wouldn’t recognize you
actually need something called film oh
yeah film do you guys have film
oh look was he using the movie for more
up-to-date top 10s published every day
