This made me laugh... and feel a bit sad

I like these videos. There are quite a few. They also did one where they showed them a NES games console, which I grew up on.

At least one of these kids voted for the film camera!
 
I have kids aged 12 and 15 and they are used to seeing me developing film and have used 35mm SLRs and disposable cameras. They refer to my Canon EOS300 as "the awesome camera" (I like how they are impressed with something worth a tenner) - I think that what they mean is that you can actually see the image in the viewfinder in sunlight, whereas my daughter's digital compact is useless in that regard and the camera on her Blackberry takes images that look like they were taken underwater.

I'm hoping they might ask to develop their own film one day ...
 
Mine play with my box cameras and the elder has a thing for the rb. It weighs the same as him!

Only the Asian Kid ??

I'd like to say they irritated the hell out of me because they were American, but I suspect that would not prove to be true.

And, I dunno who is more shocked and stunned, them at the process by which you obtain film based photographs, or me that they don't at least know what it is.
I mean, whilst I expect they produce half their art on ipads these days, they will at least know what to do with paper, paint and a brush...:D

If they were all born post-2000 (I'm guessing, I haven't watched the video), there's a good chance that they've never known a world without digital cameras. Bit like how lots of the whippersnappers in the office have never known a world without the internet.

Show 'em a library card index and tell them to look something up without Google :D
 
Back in the late 90s I went to various digital library conferences in the US. One Comp Sci Prof was bemoaning that his students never used a proper library. He reported that he had set an assignment that could only be answered by using the library. After the assignment had been marked, he asked the students how they'd approached it. Around half did indeed go into the library, the rest emailed a librarian and persuaded them to do it for them!
