The joys of Saturday morning cartoons

3. A Sense Of Privacy
Posted on Reddit by u/houndie:
I've noticed a lot of younger people who have grown up with social media don't have a strong sense of privacy. Everything is filmed and turned into a tiktok or an insta story without asking if you consent to having your life shared like this.
4. Changing The Channel
Posted on Reddit by u/Proper-Emu1558:
I recently had to explain what “changing the channel” meant to my small kid because he only knows streaming. We’ve already covered CDs, VCRs, and what it means to roll down a car window. It was a little rough (for me, not him). Edit: oh and we watched “Turning Red” and I got to explain what a flip phone is.
5. Tamagotchi

My parents wouldn't get me one. I was so jealous of my friends that had them. Those and easy bake ovens.

The things on Facebook that say repost this… they were called chain letters back in the day, and you got them in the mail.

Chain letters! I’d forgotten all about those. “Make ten copies and mail them within 10 days or evil will befall you…” Ha.
