Five Things 2000s Babies Have Never Seen Before
It's all fun and games until you're in mid-conversation with a seventeen-year-old and discover they have no idea what a cassette tape is.
The generational gap between those that grew up with smart technology and those that didn't has never been more apparent than it is today. It's hard to accept, but some people have to face the music - times are changing. You're getting old!
No, I'm totally kidding. But, it's still hilarious to even attempt to fathom kids not knowing what *not* having on-demand is like.
Check out these five things that 2000s babies will never have to use in their lifetimes.

Or Walkman as they used to be called before the CD era..
2000s babies have grown up with iPods in existence for the majority of their lifetime, therefore portable CD players weren't really a thing once they hit those preteen years.
