Technologies that your kids may never know about

Recently, there have been a few interesting articles about technologies from the not-so-distant past that have already been replaced with newer, smaller, and quicker innovations. A posting on Wired’s GeekDad blog features a list of 100 items that we grew up with but that your kids may never know about. The BBC News website also has an interesting review from a 13-year-old who gave up his iPod to try out a Walkman. It is a different world out there for students today.
