That video has some scenes from the "Kids react to.." video series. I personally think that the producers of that show intentionally select children who have zero intuition. If I've never used something before but was naturally curious about how it worked, I'd either hunt for the instruction manual or ask for permission to take it apart. This is how I learned.
I was born in the early 80s and I've seen a LOT of older technology phased out as we transitioned into the digital era. I'm fortunate to have witnessed such amazing advances. I grew up with a record player, a VCR, and a late 80s Macintosh computer with internal hard drive. Yet, I still loved playing around with older stuff like 8-tracks, radio tubes, and computers that loaded software off of cassette tape. Progression of technology has always been fascinating to me. I recently saw some videos of how teletype machines (way before my time) were used as terminals for the old Altair computer. That just blew my mind how that was the best that a computer geek back then could hope to get their hands on in the 1970s.
Its nostalgic to think about that stuff but I certainly would not want to go back to that. I certainly don't miss having to wait several minutes for those old computers to load software, or having to continuously swap floppy disks because memory upgrades and hard drives cost as much as a used car.
People who miss this old stuff are the same as those old people who think we need to go back to early 1900s because it was a "simpler time". People like that tend to look at the past through rose-colored glasses.
I resisted buying a smart phone for a while but now I am happy that I did. I don't want to have a smart watch because I like the idea of keeping my phone on silent, in my pocket or in a bag. I have no reason to constantly check it and I am fighting urges to constantly surf (is that term even used anymore?) the Internet from my phone because its always on. Yet for some reason I'm very much on board whenever the brain implants come!
