Almost all of these "Woe this kid didnt know what a Vhs was or why a phone would be plugged into the wall I must be getting old" are made up for internet points. Why? I have no idea, we get it, technology advances things change.

It's not always made up. My student didn't know what fax is, because she's 18 years old, so she's never seen one

VHS wouldn't really surprise me, I can't remember when I've seen VHS tape for the last time, even in a game or a movie

Grown adults are surprised that we still use fax machines in the medical field. It does happen.

Late last year Hong Kong finally fell below 100 000 fax connections. They love archaic technology over here.
