Just read this article and it's weird to think how technology changes from one generation to next, and the following generations only read about it or see it in a museum.
A few years ago I borrowed my brother's work truck to move some stuff. My younger son, at the time he was around 8, gets in and asks me what that "thing" on the door is. It was the was the crank/lever for the window. He had never seen one because all of the cars that he had ridden in had power windows.
***on a side note, somebody needs to bring back the little triangle windows that used to be in front of the big window. You could get air into the cab without all of the wind noise**
Another interesting thing is how the "travel agent" is almost none existent due to the internet. I remember accompanying my parents to the travel agent to buy plane tickets to go on vacation and they would print them out and issue the tickets at the their office. Now you definitely don't need a travel agent, and only need a boarding pass.

), as for the rest i agree somewhat. Heck i still have days where i avoid modern tech, i still love using 35mm cameras... old phones that only text and make calls (Current is still an old Nokia 3210)... and watch videos, most of my aviation films are on VHS, so i still use that tech regularly, but only because half the stuff you can't get on DVD, and an even smaller percentage on blu-ray...
