Comments on: 10 Nerdtastic Things Our Kids Already/Will Take For Granted The life of a nerd dad: kids, comics, movies, books, tv, video games, music. Not necessarily in that order...

Just for giggles I brought the lot upstairs and showed them to my kids. The funny thing was the kids (age 5 and 18) try to come up with words to describe the components... they had never seen one, or at least one in action before. My five year old settled on "VCR" and "DVD" for "Projector" and "Reel", my teen kept call the film reel "A Cartridge". Inspite of this, they enjoyed watching the crude flickering images on my kitchen wall.

I think most people now adays could benfit from thing about when we didn't have gaming consoles or MSN. Try to think about how on earth you would spend your day? Then go out and make something.
