I spent umpteen hours thumbing through and reading World Book and Childcraft encyclopedias we had.

We had these https://mlmerillat.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/childcraft.jpg
and these http://community.expatica.com/public/classified/96/e5/01/1e2b2_cc12.jpg?c=f8d0

Thanks for the sift as it brought back so many wonderful memories of my youth.

Stay tuned for next week's edition: Elders React to - Cell Phones!

"Well golly-gee willikers. What's this new fangled contraption?

In MY day, we only had two cups and a string"


But seriously, we're not that far removed from the past that a group of teenagers would lack knowledge or comprehension of friggin' Enencyclopedias.

This series jumped the shark years ago with the whole: X Demographic - Reacts!

Wowwww... Teenagers don't even know the alphabet nowadays?

My 2-year-old knows the alphabet.

This video demonstrates very well why they are what I think of as Generation Immediately.

Moving this video to blacklotus90's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

My parents bought me the cheap Funk and Wagnall(sp?) from a local Albertson store that just opened. We finally got rid of them in 2008 during the nest's remodelling. In the new nest, there were even older Worldbooks left from the previous owners. However, they were worthless according to eBay!
