21st Century Youth Have Never Used Or Heard About These “Weird” Devices

Over the years technological advancement has been the order of the day and because it’s in the human nature to move with the trends, they are anxious to get the latest gadgets released into the market and as a result many things become out-dated.

Gadgets like walkmans, turntables, floppy disk drives, VHS tapes have been replaced so far by new and improved devices which makes them unheard of in our modern day society, yet most 21st century kids would still recognize or have probably heard of them.

These needle threaders made sewing much easier in terms of fixing the threads into the eyes of the needle.

2. Church keys

Ask the 21st-century kid what a church key is, and he’ll probably tell you it’s a key used to lock and unlock church doors giving their answers based on the name.

But the name and its use have opposite meanings. Church keys are used to remove the crown cork of bottles and piercing cans. The 21st-century kid knows this device as “opener.”

3 Record Adapters
