You may have felt cool with your Sony Walkman as a teenager but contemporary teens can fit more music onto a device smaller than a box of matches. And they don't have to flip the tape over halfway through an album.There can be little doubt: yesterday's cutting edge technology looks silly to today's children and much of today's technology will look silly to tomorrow's children.
Here's a list of 50 technological advances, past and present, that will have young people asking: 'you used to have to do what?'

Of course, the quality of the music is reduced so much that they might as well be listening on your parents old transistor radio with it's 2-inch speaker.
Fixed!
MP3's sound like crap. If you don't notice the difference, you aren't really hearing the music anyway.
This reminds me...August will be here soon, and with it, the new Beloit College Mindset List for the class of 2014!
I used to think "This is the US. EVERYBODY has high-speed internet! Or at least DSL." until I moved to the country.
I live about 15 minutes from a city of 150,000 and the only choices I have are AOL dialup or a company that technically doesn't quite cover our area via wireless cellphone tower internet service.
