My kids do but I'm not surprised by this report

That seems like a dubious report. How old are these kids? Like under 10?

I work with college students. At one point this school year I made reference to Netflix mailing DVDs and the three students in the room all went, "wait, what?"

Given most cars don't come with CD players now and kids are handed tablets and devices that play music, this isn't surprising to me. My kids only have CDs that we've bought for them to listen to in our cars that still have a CD player. I wonder which thing kids today know more about, CDs or cassettes. The latter being nichey and found at places like Urban Outfitters. You know, what vinyl was 10 years ago.

Yeah. My take on kids is they weren't talking about teenagers. And the report doesn't surprise me at all either. I just never really thought about it.

I guess it's like how I (a baby of the early 80s with a tech-savvy dad) have no recollection of ever handling a vinyl record until I bought my turntable a couple years ago.

My dad had CDs so old that they came with instructions on how to use CDs, including a warning NOT to put it on a record player.

@LeSamouria I was born in 86, and I remember in music class in grammar school and middle school that whenever we listed to examples of music, it was always by vinyl record. One thing I specifically remember listening to in music class on vinyl was "The Flight Of The Bumblebee".

My grandfather also had this huge record player stereo in one console at his house. But I never saw it function. I was always told growing up it was in need of repair. But other than that. I never saw vinyl records until I started collecting them myself about 10 years ago.

I was born in 83, but where I lived the classrooms always had cassettes for music. I do remember watching videos on laserdisc at school though!

Cassettes, CDs, VHS and LaserDisc is all I remember.

@Melt Face Molly Drop Not 5 1/4" floppy disks? I remember those. The computers we had at school in the 90's in the classrooms required one for every application.

Ah yeah, we did have those as well. Each of had one where we‘d save our papers and what not.
