US children stumped by gadgets of yesterday

[feedsunj]

Shit aint cute ...

Shit is scary .

[heywatchme101]

the floppy disk!!!! xD before the tiny USB stick, we would have boxes of floppy disks that now only need 1 USB stick!

[norcoboy]

Apparently the sun is going to burn out in 5 billion years but I'm pretty sure millennials will find a way to fuck up earth before then

[NugenProductions]

Sush Sush Sush!!! It's an iPad 3!!! It didn't come out yet!!!

[majornewb]

"It's a microchip for your computer!" Wrong you dumb motherfucker

[majornewb]

I'm only 21 but I feel old. At least I'm not a dumb teenager

[heomak]

i used to use a floppy disk in high school to save my term papers..LOL..the good old days!!!!

[14842]

yes childeren behave like greedy capitalist :-

[jarew1517]

Can any one guess how they know what that stuff was when obviously they weren't born with knowledge of these things.??? Cartoons.....

[quaxk]

slow news day eh?...

[obiyoukenobi]

pedobear!

[jimbobubbadj]

I miss those days of yesterday. If I could only go back.

[IdidnotFartedIswear]

OMFG kids are growing to be idiots. WW3 starts sudently we dont have electricity and we have a bunch of useless 2 or 3 generations that dont know how to do shit without technology. We are screwed

[jimbobubbadj]

@IdidnotFartedIswear Dittos.

[UrSoMeanBoss]

@IdidnotFartedIswear LOL!

WW3 will go a bit like this:

"whaa? no internet? no cell phone? no apple? no windows? no facebook? no supermarket? no running water? HOW WILL WE SURVIVE!"

*i hear down the street as im chopping wood and pouring cement for a bunker in my back yard* "noobs..."

[danmanjones]

what a fkn waste of time this piece was

[JaeEffingKae]

This is something I'm very proud of about America; we are advancing so fast, things used a decade ago are alien now.

[jimbobubbadj]

@JaeEffingKae I'm not proud. Kids being so isolated do to video games and computers. Kids playing with other kids around the neighborhood years ago were better times. With all of these illegal overseas wars now and yet you are so proud.

[JaeEffingKae]

@jimbobubbadj I didn't say I was proud of the wars we are fighting, I said I was proud of our advancing technology. Don't put words in my mouth. You can be proud of your country and disagree with policy.

And sure, it would be better if more kids played outside, but we are in a position as a society we've never been in before. We have to work through it. There will be problems.

[ThePayola123]

I would've brought thechildren antique sex toys. Then I would warp and twist their impressionable young minds into becoming sex workers to service the criminals of Wall Street below the waist.

[MrFattyfatfatboy]

@ThePayola123 thats how you earned a living but its only legal in countrys that have sharia,my self i would have produced a quran and told them its toilet paper.

[agpoe]

I hate those smart-ass american kids.

[adziublafacco]

I loved this video. I still rarely use floppy disks and still use a big stereo from the early 90's.

[hrnboi]

This is such a beautiful video. Thanks AJE!

As late as 2004, I used to use floppy disks for my projects and now they are nowhere to be found.

[jimbobubbadj]

@hrnboi I have some still in original boxes unopened.

[FireKnife360]

Stumped?...

[NiteOwl1224]

Im 28 and I walked to junior high school with a walkman! 1996....man I feel old!

[RCvolunteer1978]

@NiteOwl1224 i am 55 yrs old it is hard to relate to the 8 to 12 yr olds who was laughing at my comment about me walking long distances by myself ending up at school only to chase the animals that was From the FARM NEXT Door out of the GYM and one hall ways of the school

[juniornutshell]

@NiteOwl1224 You are old

[NiteOwl1224]

@juniornutshell I'm 28, professional, own my own car, own a condo, make a good living for myself, get to travel whenever/wheverevr I want...life's not that bad, how old are you ? 28 is not that old. If I was 50, then you can say that, junior.

[PowerCat0]

Cool video

[MEGIDIOT]

Lol

[ROYALITARIAN]

its odd how fast he removes , his arm from the boy ... huh huh look at it !. hes got tendencies or , police-state got'em scared ?. i'd keep my eye on that guy ... idk that was telling .

[nothing980454]

@ROYALITARIAN Your comment is stupid. Congrats.

[PSCreativeGaming]

Why upload this. God.

[Metexie]

They seemed smart enough.

[mgoVEX]

Vu Huang is cool too.

[mgoVEX]

These kids are pretty well spoken and kinda polite at the end. Good job AJ parents.

[freesk8]

Show 'em spurs. How 'bout a pair of ice tongs? A thimble? How 'bout a carburator? :)

[b0utch]

Thinkin anout it; angry bird, where to aim to have the whole structure collapse, ows same battle somehow...

[cheenixin]

It's a beautiful video that touches on the lighter side of life. For those who only want to AJE for blood and gore, learn to relax - content like this adds much needed texture to any channel.

[HarryRay]

@cheenixin WANT it to be blood and gore? that's retarded. i want it to be insightful journalism about pressing global issues, which it normally is.

this is the kind of softball stupidity that one would expect from CNN, the Hallmark channel, or local news. learn to relax? i feel sorry for you if this is what you call relaxing. granted, if the part with the kids was a small part of some story with merit beyond "kids don't recognize reel to reel", that would be just fine, but this is simply dumb

[SimianImprov]

this is so fucked

[DrDoe1]

Sure doesn't seem like anyone was truly stumped here....kids got the answers in about 3-4 seconds max, why the BS story? also +1 to "shovelniron"...

[MyDormantSoul]

This was nice for a change. Also, there ain't no sound like a vinyl recording.

[mustanggundam]

@shyFOx

AJE is awesome. Fuck heads like you are why AJE has to keep on disabling comments. Seriously go fuck yourself with your "real american" bullshit. I'm a liberal and guess what? I'm also a decorated combat vet of the 11b type. What the fuck have YOU done for America that makes you so fucking awesome?!

[ls1tome36]

creepy

[shovelniron]

he forgot to mention that those kids could probably hook up his entire MODERN network system better than he can... that's like asking the reporter if he knows how to build a horse drawn carrige.... or if he understands astronomy as well as Newton did.... if that's the best story he could come up with Al Jazeera should probably start looking for a new reporter.....

[ThePayola123]

I PooP thinking of the future!

[shyF0x]

these kids are kids of a liberal elite

not real AMERICANS....their parents work for al-jazzera

[SteelRock73]

@shyF0x So you think they would be more "American" if their parents worked for Fox? 

[SteelRock73]

@shyF0x As far as AJE, I find that they along with RT have more honest and fair journalism unlike the mainstream propaganda machines like Fox,MSNBC,or CNN that are more worried about what Lindsay Lohan or the Kardashians do than reporting real news.

[damania]

what, no 8 track?

[hardlymattersmuch]

Kids are obnoxious in their ignorant views and "Generational Elitism". amidoinitrite 

[demarcos69]

All white kids (figures)

[Abbadon380]

@demarcos69 And is there something wrong with that

[demarcos69]

@Abbadon380 yeah there is...and if your to stupid to not even notice ...then fuck off

[Abbadon380]

@demarcos69 really please then elighten me what it is wrong

[wtf0804]

I love old technolgy especially audio equipment.

[tomperanteau]

Interesting. As someone who cut their engineering teeth on tube technology, it is amazing that we have all-but lost those roots.
