There are certain items I have a list of that I would love to take out into a town square, hand to GenZ types, ask what it is and just record their answers. This is one. Others would include flash cubes, 110 film, plastic adapter for the big hole on 45 records, what else can you think of?

I recently played the modem sound for my kids and they thought aliens were invading.

As a collector of cassettes, here I am trying to find a Walkman that still works so I can plug that in to the aux cord in my car πŸ˜‚

An 8-Track, a vacuum tube, a CB radio, and some other stuff I can't think of at the moment. My brain isn't running 100% this morning. #grownostr

Old oil cans had to be opened like a soup can. Remember these funnel / can openers https://i.imgur.com/i8am2rD.jpg

Disc film, any camera film for that matter, 8" floppy disks, punch cards, 8 track tapes, rotary phone, crank car windows. Honestly today, desktop computers! Young people we hire today, don't know basic computer skills, they are used to their phones. How about a yard rake πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

This is a tad bit newer tech. This is the pinned iPod version for the car stereo. I found this by accident while I was searching the AV parts for an extra cat8 cord. Made me laugh since I just saw your post https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_00ccbf642779364fb3026fdf85e75e532c0745a3d1ab6005efd0a50145...
