When I first read the title of this thread, I thought it was referring to adventures we ourselves had gotten into that we did not plan on telling our kids about.
I had a few different stories to post that aren't going to make it now. ;-) Our kids will never know the sound a modem makes when it connects to a phone number. They won't know about CRT screens and monitors. they won't know what its like to try to meet someone at a bar/restaurant/movie theater/etc when both people don't have a cell phone.

100 things your kids may never know about:
Somewhere on that list should be leaving work at 5pm & letting all the problems/issues that come up wait till 9am the newt day. Cell phones are evil. |

Kids 10 years ago didn't know what rotary phones were. I remember witnessing a kid ask to use the phone and when they got to it, the next phrase was "Where are the buttons?"
I got something that not only our kids won't know about, many people our age don't know about it: 1981's RCA CED Videodisc player Commonly confused as Laserdisc, these movies were actually on grooved records |
