I feel so old. :(

3th

OHHHHHHHH i thought it was a bomb

@3

Why is it sad? Because advances in technology have rendered things obsolete? Technology marches on, and kids that young would never have been exposed to those objects.

French-Canadian are known to be totaly ignorant about the past. They don't have any serious history class and never know what happen last week (unless it's about hockey, in wich case, we lnow it all).

You'd think they'd at least be able to figure out what the Gameboy did. It's still got a pretty similar setup to handhelds these days. Plus it should have Nintendo branded all over it.

Leads me to believe this is the remedial class.

There is something seriously wrong with people who WANT to be French.

Being a French Canadian myself, I can tell you beyond any doubt that if these kids are from a French Canadian school, they are most likely immigrants. This is 100% a French accent (France).

Plus if GW wasn't that lazy he would've clicked on the name of the video poster and saw that it said

Hometown:Caen, FRANCE

But GW is lazy so it's all good. Move along.

Kids are stupid.

...

I'm surprised they didn't try to eat any of those things... retards.

French and Canadian? Sounds like the worst combination you can have from both continents.
(I change my prejudices every 3 months, so dont take it too serious)

I busted up when the black kid started scratching.

Kids shant be bothered with obsolete technology.

If you liked that then you should see the out takes where the black kid steals all of the stuff ... and then the smaller one runs a 4-40

You little shits that's a cartridge a CARTRIDGE! ARRGHHH D: Go play some Sega Genesis and love it you ipod spoiled bastards.

lost in translation

LMAO at the kid scratching the record.

ROFL when the host gets all butt mad when that kid starts scratching. U could see the surrender in the kids eyes. Cuz they're frenchies.

Ha ha, the black kid was the only one who knew how to dj!

@11, thank you really much!!

This is pretty sad. I wasn't born to see pretty much any of those things yet I can name them all, and have a good understanding of how they work. Damn french...

I thought it was a bomb too...

@16 this is so true.

look, im 15 and never used any of them. but sure as hell i know what the f*** they are

Dumb kids. If I was a kid now, I'm sure I would give a pretty close guess of what those things are. I mean they probably don't even know what new things are.

@28 Thank you.

@12 Thank you

Some of you people are morons. I'll bet you speak louder to people who don't speak English. Those kids had some damn good guesses.

@32 No thank you

They are not french-canadian lulz. Or it's a class for "special people" (from France).

First, that was hilarious and cute too. Second though, what's wrong with these kids? When I was a kid I had never seen a laserdisc or an atari or an 8 track but I knew what they were?.

First!!!11!!

Also, I used to own Donkey Kong Jr. for the Coleco Vision.

HA-HA!! Things change and then they're different. And kids are young... HA!

@35 you know they sell toy story 1 on laserdisc ?

I knew everything cept the "bomb" thing.... unlike my neice who knows no musicians except lady gagg and katy perry

Ahhh the French. You have to hand it to them though, they are good for some things, like words.
Example:

"je bois dans ta déchirure
j'étale tes jambes nues
je les ouvre comme un livre
où je lis ce qui me tue." G. Bataille.

The French are also good with food and pussy. But I guess I'm just being redundant here (pussy is a food, right?).

Wow, are these kids retarded or something?

Did you see that one kid actually trying to fit that thing into a Gameboy? French and French-derived people are idiots. Pure and simple.

there sure is a lot of discrimination against the french. the Canadians were morons when people though they were Canadians and then it turns out the french are dirty idiots, really just an excuse for xenophobia. Still, these kids are quite ignorant i suppose.

Most of the readers have never used a gramophone or made phone calls by talking to the operator.
But I'm sure many of us were smart enough to ask our grandparents how life was and how those things that we saw on books and movies worked.
For a kid, not being curious about the world is a serious problem.

Damn, guys. I know the comment section is sort of a haven for bitchiness, but come on. These kids aren't that stupid.

1. Like other dumbass look-how-stupid-these-people-are videos (Leno's "Jaywalking" is a good example), it's not like there weren't kids who knew what the items are. I'd guess that the majority of the class would see those items and say: "It's a record," or "It's a video game." They don't use the footage of the kids who are right.

2. Even when the kids are wrong, it's totally understandable. How old are these kids? How long has it been since a disk drive came standard on a computer? Why would they know what a floppy disk is? Do you think one of their grade-school classes is called "The History of Computing"? I understand you guys think that these kids should have asked their parents what this stuff is, but seriously, what if you don't have this old shit around your house? Does that make you stupid? It makes you ignorant, maybe, but only of some triviality that really doesn't matter anymore.

3. Their guesses weren't even that bad. For the floppy disk, cassette isn't an outlandish guess and camera is creative.

Check back with theses kids in 20 years and they'll be the ones calling you stupid for not being able to understand CURRENT technology.

ils sont mignons tout plein !!

This reminds me of something...

...oh yeah, THIS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJuNgBkloFE

had to be the black kid that got all DJfrenchyFROG with the record. haha!

This video ain't with french-canadian kids. Believe me, they don't have our accent (I'm french-canadian actually).

Even the French adults who put the video together don't even know what size old floppy disks were... 8"!?... PFFTTT HAHHAHAHAHA!1!

I guess they tell their girlfriends that their dicks are 8", too!!!

Oh, and Star Wars Episode 1 is the most recent movie that I know to be on Laserdisc... although they didn't have any LDs in this video, it's pretty awesome that they had an RCA selectravision disc.

this is awesome

little black kids speaking french is the cutest shit ever!!!!!!!!

"e le film"
eveyone needs to shut up, they are little kids, they've never seen this stuff, act like grown adults for once and stop hating on these kids, its pathetic

American adults are much more clever... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJuNgBkloFE

The French are how you say, 'Le' Stupid!'

LOL I almost fell on the floor cause I was laughing so hard after reading the comment that said French were ignorants and so and so...lol Americans are so self-focused. They keep bashing on anything that is different from them...Which country is economically in deep shit? And as far as I remember, Canadian dollar is higher than US dollar...thank to our banking system managed by the so-called "ignorants"

Vous êtes laid de planter les français calis !

It's not the french that are stupid. It's the kid that never got to see the actual evolution of the objects they have now.
It's funny though, the first time I saw something similar to this i.e: "kids not knowing what old technology is", it was on a american sitcom that made fun of they're own kids for not knowing what a vinyl record was.
Besides, I'm not blaming English or French or Spanish....I blame the kids for being stupid. It's a whole different thing there.

@48
Except that IS a 8'' floppy. Floppy disks came in 8 inch, 5¼ inch and 3½ inch forms.

This is nothing more than the "studies" that show 50% of teenagers can't find Canada on a map.

All this shows is that kids don't take stupid questions very seriously.

I like how the little kid started scratching and the French man had enough of it within 3 seconds. Still a bunch of racists, eh France?

@56 The french guys that made the video are wrong and so are you. That's a 5¼" floppy in the video not the older 8".

http://www.computermuseum.li/Testpage/FloppyDisks.htm

@8 You are absolutly wrong about that statement... being a french canadian myself I easily recognise everyone of the objets in the clip and I know a good knowledge of world history and I have a very good current history class in high school

LOL the black kid.....

I know of someone who tried to stick an optical disk into an 8" floppy drive, damaging both...

Sorry, that was a FIVE inch floppy drive (though I've used 8-inchers, way back when)

Being a French Canadian myself, I can tell you beyond any doubt that if these kids are from a French Canadian school, they are most likely immigrants. This is 100% a French accent (France). OF COURSE THEY DONT RECOGNIZE THOSE OBJECTS IF THEIR PARENTS NEVER HAD THOSE AT HOME

Plus if GW wasn't that lazy he would've clicked on the name of the video poster and saw that it said

H o m e t o w n : C a e n, F R A N C E

But GW is lazy, probably does not know that Céline Dion and Guy Laliberté are from Québec so it's all good. M o v e a l o n g

As "dumb" as those kids are, keep in mind they're about 10 years old, plus it's focusing on the first 30 seconds of interaction. Most kids never see any of the technology from 1988, who the hell keeps all that outdated shit around?
They also made some decent guesses, records and floppy discs were replaced by CDs, DVDs, etc. Someday they'll replace what we have now and and you'll all feel even older. Won't matter though, we discover infinite life for the willing in 2047 anyhow.

@3
i felt the same, old. but it also made me feel smart, i named everyone of those things. i have also used them all. it's nice to remember where the new technology stemmed from. lol

I feel a hundred years old... :(

I lov e this , i lov e my b oyfriend, he is a nice guy !.

@68: No need to, it doesn't take much...

I know rotary dials, but I never had to *crank* a phone first...on the other hand, SF and tech geek that I always have been, flat-panel TV was no surprise, I was expecting the eventual demise of the CRT for decades.

All I learned from this is that kids are stupid. Especially French kids.

Oh wait, I already knew that.

Kind of not fair when they don't have the respective devices to make the actual peice of equipment work. Two kids figured out right away that the Gameboy had a space for something else to go into it, this was just edited to make things appear much worse.

"But GW is lazy, probably does not know that Céline Dion and Guy Laliberté are from Québec so it's all good."

shit, Celine Dion? Guy Laliberte? well, when you put it like that then...um, congratulations?

oh yeah, that GW -- gotdamn he's lazy!

@73:

Guy Laliberté can certainly afford yo mama's ass

OK, I had to Google your Guy Laliberté to find out who he is.

Celine Dion?? Guy Laliberté?? WTF

If only you had said Georges St-Pierre....

All I learned from this is that the commentators at Geekologie are fucking imbeciles.

I especially enjoy the fact that the ability to recognize unfamiliar technology is considered a sign of intelligence *unless* it's a black kid. I'm more worried about the logical and general reasoning capacities of the american commenters on here.

i own an i-phone, so im superior

Coming across this site, I was astounded by the quality of info anyone would discover it very to be of benefit also, I will be spreading the word christian louboutin . Thanks .

Superbb!!! these children are very talented..

@all the critics, they are kids, no more than 6/7 years old, obviously they don't know to much about everything, even more, old technology, and everybody here try to compare them self's with a kid, well, only Americans will compare them with a 7 years old kid!
LOL and its incredible that critics call everybody stupid! Well if you put a mcdonalds in front of every american they will definitely will answer, "Hey, this is part of the fat in my belly!"

lmao....the kid starts scratching the record. Took him 3 seconds to re-invent 90's hip hop.

The black kid that starts scratching is the Obvious Win

Loved the look on the kid's face when he scratched the record.

He was all, "oooh!" and his eyes went wide with wonder.

Then the teacher got all pissy and stops him with an, "OK."

These kids are too damned cute.

Loved the vid.

een

want to see the follow up, give 60-70 year olds some of todays tech, and see if they can guess wtf it is

...I feel old, and I'm only 19 >_>

dude they are dumb i knew what evey thing was and im 11

I am one of probably a minority Christian Audigier of people who have actually studied abnormal psychology.This is great information.

To those making comments about the 8" disk being "wrong", they originally had an 8 inch floppy but shrank it to a 5.25 after a few years.

Anyone else think its funny that the black kid automatically started Scratchin the Record like A DJ.....

I thought it was a bomb. LOL very funny.
