Today’s kids will never know these 25 things. They were just born in a different era when everything is in the palm of their hands, or so it seems to us adults right? When we were kids we had so many cool things that were not an iPhone app.
We got to play with actual physical things that more often than not got broken all the time and then you spent an entire day trying to fix it yourself, these were the days if you ask me. Now it’s like if something doesn’t look right, you just swipe to delete.
No challenge, no emotion. The list below will try to show kids today all the stuff they missed by being born after 2000. Share with us if you have more things that today’s kids will never know and never understand.
