13 Things Kids Today Would Be Completely Baffled By

By Tanya |

Growing up before the internet was everywhere makes for some very interesting memories. We know how it felt to be unreachable, we remember having to take only a certain number of pictures, and we know what the phrase "Be kind, rewind" means.

Kids today have no idea how lucky they are. While I am sure our parents said the same about us, there really have been a crazy amount of technological advances over the last 15-20 years and the world is basically unrecognizable.

Here a few relics that you may remember but kids today probably couldn't identify. Do you remember them? How do you think think they would react to them?

1. What is this mysterious disk? 500 hours of what?

2. What is this mysterious book for?

3. But why would there be one on the street?

4. Why are those holes in the paper?

5. What on earth is this tiny toy car for?

6. What the...

7. Umm...

If they're confused by floppy disks just wait 'til they see the next thing...

8. How many songs does it hold?

9. What is this for?

10. Is this a Hollywood camera?

11. Well this isn't anything...

12. Or is it... But how does it relate to this...

13. So many questions...

How confused do you think kids would be if they had to identify these things? Can you remember them all?

Over 35 Years Later, Is It Still A Hard-Knock Life For Little Orphan Annie?

By Meg
Growing up, the movie Annie was one of my all-time favorites. As a little girl with red curly hair, I was just so excited to see someone who looked like me in a movie! Not only that, but the story and music were enough to warm hearts all over the world. The original movie came out in 1982, based off the comic strip in 1924 and the Broadway musical in 1977. Aileen Quinn, who played little orphan Annie, instantly became a household favorite with her bright personality and even brighter hair. She was only 11 when the movie came out,
