I was helping my mum this afternoon cleaning out her loft. I came across a old box with contained some of my stuff.

Their was an old Walkman in it. So when we had done I took it downstairs. My young niece was there and she said " Uncle James what's that" I said it's a Walkman you put tape cassette in it and you listen to music with it.

Then she said "What are tape cassettes" I just looked at her and laughed.

I tried discussing about how the Bluy-Ray DVD vs HD-DVD was like the early-mid 1980s Beta vs VHS and got the question "What's Beta?" :)

It's frightening,

When things like this happens it really strikes home how old you're getting.

I remember listening to my eight-track tapes in the stereo in my room after school.

WOW! I guess I'm getting old...Good thing I refuse to grow up tho, hehe ;)
