RE: Child of the 22nd century

["Dan Hoehnen" <dhoehnen@xxxxxxx>]

Not to get too far off topic, but I had a similar "22nd century"
situation
with my oldest son, although not HA related.  When we moved 3 years ago, he
helped us unpack some boxes.  He was 6 years old at the time and came
across
a box that had record albums in it that belonged to my wife and me.  My
wife
and I had not played them in years and so he had never seen them.  He asked
me, "Daddy, what are those big black CD's for?".  My wife and I
just
laughed, and then explained what they were.  (Of course, he had seen CD's
and knew what they were.)  Another sign of technology changing.
