I wasn't asked to make it work. How could I work something I'd never used before? My reaction, like everyone else's reaction, would have been "I don't know how to work this." The end. Not OMG SO FUNNY LOOK AT ME I'M SO FUNNY OMG HAHAHAHAHAA.

At the very least you'd expect most children to reconcile the round record with the hole and the round platter with the spike. There's generally an ON switch and after that there's only a couple of movable parts. Even by accident a kid would probably end up dropping the needle in the groove.

I always remember my mum would buy cheap battery's and then the songs would go really ssssllllloooowwwww .

I remember getting my 1st Walkman , I was so excited . I also remember the day I found out about mp3 s and being able to put thousands of tunes on it. I thought it was a joke .
I love music

I'm much too young to feel this damn old.

I got my first walkman when I was 10 or 11 from santa and I also got a garth brooks tape from santy that same year.

I got Michael Jackson - BAD, and my brother got Meatloaf lol.

ceadaoin.

I'd spend so long rewinding and fast forwarding on my Walkman that I hardly got to listen to any songs before the batteries died.

It's crazy the technology kids these days are growing up with. My 2 year old can use my ipad and phone no probs, opens up apps and knows how to skype etc. Meanwhile, my grandmother struggles to send a text!

Saw someone at the bus stop yesterday with a discman in her pocket and thought "wow get with the times" forgot i used to have a walkman

Used to tape songs off the radio so I wouldn't need to buy the whole cassette. Good times.

And there was the vital skill of stopping the recording before the DJ started talking at the end of songs.

You used to get a whole album on each side of a tape with a couple of bonus songs to fill it up, until Metallica brought out Master Of Puppets which was over 45 minutes long.

Rocket Queen was another song that you couldn't fit in.

I still play some of mine. I love the faded ink on the sleeves, in the handwriting of boys who were so achingly gorgeous and important to me at the time.

or when computer games came on cassette tapes..and you had to load them, which usually took what seemed like hours, only for the dread message "Loading Failed" to come up right at the end...shyte...rewind, retry....and another hour was gone..turn it off after playing, and guess what, you had to reload it again to play again..BBC Micro - "the rolls royce of computers.."

Femme_Fatale

Eardrum-piercing noise when loading too. The keyboard, an old crap portable TV and a little cassette-player all hooked up... just for a game of Boulderdash.
Good times.

Kids are a bit thick though. I remember my father in law taking his grandkids from Essex to Manchester to see Man utd's football club, the grandson was a huge man u fan. Before they left the house the grandson, who was about 12 asked if they had McDonalds up there

:eek:
