[Dredd97]

thanks OP for reminding me I'm old!..

seriously that's rather sweet.. and shows just how far children today take for granted the massive strides in computer tech and interface displays..

 

[JustSomeone]

At least they are still using their hands.

[Nintendo's Witch]

I'm not old, they are just insultingly young.

[Shinypogs]

Yep, I like how his eyes are just so iconic.

 

[III-V]

Haha yes my 3yo son tries to touch the desktop monitor like it's the iPad. He's like, it's not working.

They have learned to expect a touch sensitive interface at a very young age.

Gameboy pocket? Pff, that was way after I got and grew out of the OG GB.

I'm pretty sure that's a Game Boy Color.

What, really??

 

[You Pay This Much]

Oh boy... I'm only 20! I can't be old...

Way to go OP!

 

[Bollocks]

where's that telephone gif with the dial pad?

 

[Aeana]

This doesn't make me feel old, because my mom's immediate reaction given an unfamiliar device is to try to touch the screen too.

 

[low-G]

I’ve explicitly described to my daughter that not as screens are touch screens. I think she gets it. Doesn’t even try the touch the Switch screen.

 

[HotHamBoy]

"Wanna feel old" makes me feel old.

OK, so gaf is reddit now.

Same as my mother does that as well, which is ironic as she's such a technophobe and did not like touch screen or the tablet when my dad first brought it for her.

 

[Danneee]

I'm pretty sure that's a Game Boy Color.

Probably! And that’s only like, what, 18 years old?


Edit: the kid should have tried a Game.com instead

 

[tapedeck]

Old feels confirmed.

 

[Robin64]

What a stupid child.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Mario is as old as he looks in game

Feel Mario yet?

 

[CannonFodder52]

That kid will be designing our games in a few years time.

Fucking ground her!

 

[mullet2000]

Did anyone actually legitimately like the tiger electronics portables?

Even when I was 3 I thought they sucked.

 

[Giga Man]

That poor lime green Game Boy Color, being abused like that.

I feel ya. It's just the trends of the world today.

 

[Ravelle]

Doesn't really make me feel old though, shows more that her parents let her play with a tablet too much. It's odd that she completely ignore the existing buttons, kids love to press buttons.

I didn't even have a gameboy, that was for "rich people". All I had in long car trips was one these things.

 

[GLAMr]

About 5 years ago my nephew (who was 9 at the time) and I found a VHS cassette on a box, and he asked what it was. I explained it was a tape for playing video. He exclaimed:

"It must be good quality video! Look how big it is compared to a DVD!"

I’d like to know his reaction to an old school record lol

Ha! Damn, I should have introduced him to my vinyl collection when he was younger ><

Some of them were ok. Listen back then what were you supposed to do in the backseat when driving to your grandparents for the holidays?

I had a couple of these when I was a kid - never more than 1 or 2 at the same time, but they got so much usage from me that I needed to switch 'em eventually. My Tetris skills were honed on these beasts, nowadays whenever I jump into a Tetris game I destroy everyone. Thank you Chinese Tetris rip-offs, you've made me who I am today.

 

[waterproofjesus]

God I'm fucking old.

(Off-topic thread quote)

What was the conversation, exactly? Not to detail, but maaaan I have a real problem with non-parents who proudly announce how much they hate children. It's really unnecessary, immature and wholly lacking in perspective.

It reminds me of people shitting on Nintendo for making "kiddy games". I feel like the older I've gotten and the more mature I've grown, the more I've come to love and just overall appreciate things exemplifying innocence and joy, wonder and curiosity etc.

 

[McBradders]

If I want to feel old I just remember how old I am :/

 

[Redlogic]

I thought this thread was going to be about that new show on MTV called 90's House, where people have to survive like they are living through the 90's. Now THAT made me feel old AF.

 

[Bloodporne]

I've actually seen my wife's little cousin do that to a regular framed photo on a table. He picked it up and tried to swipe it several times before getting irritated and dropping it.

Old af confirmed

We have Ipads as well, but my kids asked me for a Vita.

Two already got one, the third one might get one later (a bit young now).
