It was today when I was watching Goosebumps (good movie btw) with my family that I realized something. My kids wont know how to use a type writer. They wont know how to write and mail a letter or how to use a card catalog in a library or how to do a book report / project without the aid of computer or how to spell check without auto-correct.

I am a child of the 90's, the last of an era to do those things before the heralding of the digital age we now live in. I am the last of the anologs.

Who here knows my sorrow?

Yeah, I've thought a lot about stuff like this (though I'm 32 and never used a typewriter, lol). Kids don't know anything about cassettes (audio, or VHS), floppy disks, cartridge based video games, and I'm sure a lot of other stuff I could think of given time. Kind of sad.

I'm much older than both of you and I don't miss these things at all. Good riddance, I say.

There's a reason we don't use those things anymore, and it's because they are much less effective than what we have now. I don't see any need for the new generation to learn how to use those things when all the tech we have now is so much more user friendly.
