Just a quick note here: In the edit, Castle was written as "Mask" and I didn't catch it until it was pointed out to me half an hour after the video went live. Also Tactical is 23, not 21.
I'm 24, had a cassette when I was young. Even in college still had a friend with an old ass car with a cassette player that had the 3.5mm to cassette adapter to play music lmao. I'm more shocked none of them knew what camera film was, those disposable film cameras were still a common thing well into the late 2000s
This is why it's weird to me that the start for zoomers is 1996. Clearly we don't belong in the same group as these players. Technology evolved so quickly recently that even a 5 year difference is massive.
Being born on the 90’s was the perfect time, where you can appreciate analog technology and dial-up while also growing up during the boom of digital tech.
I think seeing Apple grow in the 2000's is a great example of this. Born in the 90's I remember the iPod Classic, the iPod nano, the iPod shuffle, being blown away by the first iPod touch, and then the incredible iPhone. It didn't have an equal when it first came out and defined the space of future phones. The series of progression from each technology was world altering and it happened while I was in school.
@@apurplehippo8809 Man, I loved my iPod Classic; it had a huge screen and it crazy we could watch movies and music videos on there. A big game changer too was when people could easily play music in their cars without CDs or cassettes, you just plugged it into a cable and it was playing music from the speakers. As a kid, I was always fascinated how songs could be stored in and come out of a little box. 🤣
It shocks me how many did not know how to open the cassette holder. I would have just instantly thought you would look at the where the cassette is inserted, see the cassette inside, and then boom. I need to get the pegs through the holes. I guess CD's trained me well.
Crazy to think how much of a difference a few years makes. I'm 27 and I feel like there's a giant chasm between me and these guys' lives. Dial-up, cassette tapes and film cartridges were very normal parts of my childhood. The family walkman was for CDs rather than cassettes and you had to walk pretty gently not to make the CD skip! Entertaining stuff if a little mind-blowing how quickly things move on
I’m 21, I know of cassette tapes and a pager but have never used either. I couldn’t have told you the use of the mini trash can nor could I have known QVC. It’s crazy what a mere six year difference can be.
The only one I was wrong on off the start was the pager. Once he rejected alarm clock, Pager was 4th or 5th guess. I am more used to the screen and buttons being on the larger part of the black rectangle.
The most impressive thing in this video is that Travis actually found a film cannister. I'm not sure I could find one of those today even if my life depended on it
Hi Travis. This is one of your greatest content peace’s ever! So fun to show the difference between generations! We’re laughing the hole way through as a kid born in the 90. And great that the participants didn’t seem like it was stupid 👍🏻 Original and great content! Well done! 😊👏🏻🥳
This was so entertaining and also made me feel so old. A small suggestion if you do a similar piece of content in the future. Instead of "age", writing the year they were born in would make a stronger impression. Crazy to think that a 24 year old might be born in 2000 😂
I'm not sure what's worse; watching this, or the PirateSoftware short about little kids trying to use a TV like a touchscreen and not knowing how to use a keyboard/mouse.
incredible video. i’m genuinely so surprised the older guys didn’t know some of these things, as a 25 yo it was hilarious watching them try to guess wildly
Lmao, I’m 23 and my parents made sure I knew each of these because that’s what they experienced compared to what I get as a luxury now. Waiting for pictures to load, floppy disks and boombox, answering machine, car phones in the center console, trying to walk into the other room with home phone with a cord, people listening to the calls on different phones in the house.
These kids don't know how lucky they are! The ultimate prank would have been to give them a rotary phone and tell them to try and make a phone call. And then after that ask them how do they text from the same phone. They did the same bit on Teens React years ago and kids broke their brains trying to text on a rotary phone. They could not comprehend a world where texting didn't exist.
Thanks to all the participants for being a great sport! I hope they had fun learning history. I'm glad we don't have to carry around cassettes to listen to music anymore!
Great video. As an “older” LCS watcher this was hilarious. Would have been interested to see some of the slightly older pros guessing, surely some of them knew most of this stuff? I’m only early 30s and all of this was so easy haha. Crazy the difference 10 or so years makes.
1. Wouldn't have gotten it. I've heard of pagers but never actually seen one before. 2. Ah dial-up internet. I only used it a handful of times myself when I was little but I did recognize the image and sound. 3. Like a home shopping channel. Never used one myself and never heard of QVC but I have seen channels like it in passing. 4. A film container. I got that one right away. Never used one myself though but have seen them in some tv shows. 5. Ah an old cassette player, now that takes me back. I don't think I ever actually used one but I think I've seen them in passing (and in shows). I also think some old cars I used to ride in had them built in.
Travis fr got The Shins on cassette. Now I just picture Travis waiting for a ride at the airport, late night, with the wired buds in - listenin to Sleeping Lessons, pondering the future of the LCS and TGI 😂
Wow, so I guess that it's actually not uncommon for people born after or around the 2000s to not know about these things! That's pretty amazing! It's funny how, when you said "you will get to listen to a sound", then I already knew what you would play up! It's such a classic!
@@justin2173 sorry I didn’t mean that I used these things or grew up with them. But because they were around not long before my childhood and because I’ve had 22 years(ish) to learn of their existence from people in my family that are older than me, from movies, books, school, internet etc.
Being only 26 this feels so funny relating to like half of them and understanding their logic. Shoutout to Busio’s attempts at BSing through it at the end.
Peak content. Especially as someone who is barely old enough to what these are. Like when you asked how to actually use a pager I was lost. Everything else I got though
