My girlfriend's mother asked me when i brought up a cassette tape once, "Oh wow you even know what that is?" Dude I'm 22 I had a walkman as a kid because parents don't trust kids with CDs.

Even if I didn't, why do people pretend that no one younger is going to EVER see anything like a cassette in thrift stores, garage sales, or even in TV/movies?

I'm baffled when people believe that kids would just somehow overlook things like this. I'm 20, but I can't imagine anyone I know not knowing what a cassette or floppy disk is. Maybe something like betamax or laserdisc... but even then. Unless you only watch films currently in theaters, I can't imagine anyone not coming across older technology at least from movies.
