How to Sound Really Old

May 18, 2020 by Scott Meyer

I’d like to see a kid today try to thread an 8mm film projector.

To be fair, I wouldn’t mind to go back in time and see me as a kid try it. My memory is that I screwed it up more than once.

Or even better, I’d like to see a kid today have to deal with a film strip. Explain to them that they turn the knob to advance the frame every time the tape goes “Boop.” I have no doubt they could do it. But when they say “this sucks,” I could yell, “I know, right?!”

Note from Missy: Hey, Cipher in the Snow is on YouTube!  I had no idea it was made by Brigham Young University. Scott and I both watched this in school when we were kids, even though we grew up in vastly different areas, neither of which was particularly Mormon-heavy.

As always, thanks for using my Amazon Affiliate links (US, UK, Canada).
