I always see this stuff and really it has nothing to do with age. I think its the kid or parents interest in teaching and learning. When I was 9 I knew what an 1899 Victrola was (and no, despite my steam profile, I wasnt born in 1901). I knew what typewriters were and had a couple. I knew what a john Deere single row plow was.
I’m not really a history buff though. I just figured throughout life that we should know about things that came before us. I keep learning more about old things and some new things daily.
I think its just ignorance. If you are 13 today and seriously dont know what a CD is, thats just idiocy. maybe if you dont know what a cassette is I’d get it, but still. Its not hard to learn.
