Once upon a time, Marty McFly went back in time and people didn't know what a re-run was.
Fast forward back to the future and it's now 2023 and I ask my 15 year old niece if she knows what a re-run is and she doesn't have a clue.
It's wild to think that things that dominated every day life to the point that not knowing about them would be comical in a mainstream movie have now become unknown again. She also didn't know about yellow pages or AOL cds, but she knew of VCRs and has seen but never used a floppy disk.
These organisms dominated life and we didn't even know they existed. I wonder what AOL CDs existed in the 1800s or 1700s or 300s or -1700s. We see their tools and clay tablets and jewelry and crap, but what games or toys or other things are just gone after being ubiquitous?
Anyway, it's neat to learn about a whole world that once existed on this same planet.
