What’s a Phone Book? The GenX/GenZ Generation Gap
Manage episode 396898538 series 3386232
Today we’re saving many of the things from our youth that our own kids’ generations will never understand … like what the heck a phone book is (not to mention how to use it). From smoking sections on airplanes (why bother??) to having to WAIT for your favorite song to play (the agony!) to the migraines the microfiche machine triggered (and which the memory still does), we’re breaking down some of the staples of our childhoods that continue to puzzle the most recent generations. But really, how did we survive without computers to do all our work for us? And here’s a head-scratcher: was it better?
