Heard a kid say '404 error' like it was an old joke and I felt ancient

Oh man, you just gave me flashbacks to the days of dial-up and AOL CDs. I heard a kid call a cassette tape a "weird little box" last week and I think my soul left my body for a second. The worst part is when they treat stuff like VHS tapes or floppy disks like museum artifacts. You're not alone in feeling old, trust me. I try to just laugh it off now and remember we had the coolest toys growing up.

Man, I had to explain to my nephew what a skipping CD was the other day. Like the whole ritual of holding your breath when your Nirvana disc got scratched and hoping a little toothpaste wizard would fix it. He just stared at me like I was describing how to churn butter. I'm pretty sure my back gave a little twinge of solidarity right then and there.
