RE: Something young kids today will never understand
American kids, at least: a sense of safety and security while at school.

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"

We didn't get a color TV until the 1967 World Series. Mom has a worker's comp. claim and required the TV before any other spending. If not for that money we'd have gotten a color TV when they came in Cracker Jack.

How about being mom and dad's remote control?

My wife collects antiques. We have a wind-up Victrola that is about 4 feet tall. If she dies before I do, that thing is gone, to the highest bidder.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Don't worry the hipsters brought them back.

And now we have the privilege of paying $30 for albums that we used to get for $5 or less.

Or just raid the LP bin at the local thrift store in hope of scoring some gently-played vinyl that *isn't* Joe Nobody and the Whatsitstown Church Choir sings 'Amazing Grace'.

Kids today can never understand the feeling some of us had that first time we played Pong and thought, "Holy shit, this is awesome! It's a new world!"

I still use that. My husband and I have a digital SLR as well but I have a couple of Hasselblad 500CM medium format cameras and plenty of different lenses. I got them cheap on ebay when prices were rock bottom because everyone was moving to digital.
