Makes me feel old
Reshared post from +Kristoffer Sorensen
This has been making the rounds but I think it's great 🙂 If you don't know the connection between these two, well, then you weren't around in the 80s 🙂

someone explained it to me 😛 a few weeks ago, but i am old enough i should have known it, but i didn't.
I still have a shoebox full of mixed tapes, with nothing to play them on. Can't seem to let them go. 🙂
so, nobody is going to tell the answer? One is a tool to rewind the other. And I have about 4 shoe boxes of purchased tapes and tapes I made myself from my vinyls.
The pen is to write "Mix Tape" on the white part of the label 😉
+Brenda Verma You don't have a boom box? I think that I have three.
+Scott Ormond sad isn't it! The one I did have died a few years back.
I'm a product of the 90's (born in 91) and I knew this without reading the comments.
+Christopher Baccus Yea, well that too. But when I did DJ with Cassettes we used a Bic pen to back up the tape to the start point and get some tension in it. Then put it in the player….
I just finished explaining how the pen relates to the cassette to my son but first I had to explain what a cassette was.
+Brenda Verma someday your son will probably be explaining to his kids what CDs were and how we actually had to tap out messages on physical keyboards
A friend in his early 40s was working with his tween daughter on the computer.
He told her to click the save button.
She asked him what that weird box looking thing on the save button icon was, and he replied "it's a disk"
"Disk…?"
