I was just thinking about how much things have changed. For me, one memory that today’s kids will never understand is rewinding a cassette tape with a pencil because the player’s rewind button was broken. What’s one thing from your childhood that today’s generation will never experience? I’d love to hear your stories — funny or emotional, all are welcome!

Those cassette tapes were a pain. Only black and white TV when I was a kid and only one channel.

Oh, I definitely remember the pencil trick! What a good choice.

I remember having to do that with the inward part of a VHS tape too.
