Kids and (old) tech

In my recent post responding to JWT's predictions for 2011 I singled out their thoughts on kids and tablets and on e-books for kids. It's certainly a truism that the current generation of pre-schoolers and primary schoolchildren take to cutting edge tech with astonishing alacrity. But what do they make of our generation's futuristic tech? This charming French film features the reactions of a group of schoolchildren to comms and media tech from the 80s. Watch for what they do with vinyl - although be prepared to wince - as ironically it's the one medium they can even vaguely make head or tail of.
