I feel so judged right now.

I prefer technology up to date.

Oh well!

It is most interesting. The fact that it's quite recent technology makes it even more striking.

I wondered how they would have reacted to gas lights,coal delivered by horse and cart and pneumatic tubes in shops, all of which I can remember.

You should see me trying to use my smartphone.

Same here. I remember a next-door neighbour's house lit by gas and our own had just been converted to that new fangled electric light. 1960s ... but still !

Our street was lit by gas lights in the early and mid fifties, the bloke came round with a long pole morning and night.

OMG I sound like the Monty Python Yorkshiremen sketch.

As said on Goggle Box, I'm not smart enough for a smartphone. (or any kind of mobile phone).

Oh, I have one and find it very useful. But I'm like the chap playing chopsticks where all the young people I know are like Alfred Brendel.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Thought he played piano.

I am not sure why this is so surprising. The Walkman was introduced in the early 1980s and by some time in the 1990s, it was not the portable music player of choice. So it is nearly 35 year old technology.

When I was 10, if I had been given items from the early 1930s, I would probably have been similarly clueless about them.
