People Reveal Things From Their Childhood That 'Kids These Days' Wouldn't Understand

There have been some pretty incredible technological advancements that we've seen in the past few decades. People went from bringing dimes to a payphone, to being able to airdrop memes to each other by pressing twice on their smartphone. I mean, smartphones alone could be used to describe the craziest difference between what kids experience these days vs back in the day. There was a time when people made plans with each other over the landline and then that was literally it, you had no other option but to show up, or I guess stand them up. But there was no such thing as sending a text five minutes before you left like "Sorry dude, too hungover, can't make it."

On Reddit people are talking about some of the things that children simply could never understand these days and the answers seem nearly limitless. The world is changing bro, at least we can reminisce together.
