Kids Reacting to an Old Cassette Walkman Is Wonderful and Horrifying

Some of their comments are hilarious and occasionally spot on!!!!!

Jim, that was a great video. I'm a 90's kid and I can remember my first walkman, I took it everywhere and it was kind of a big deal.

I loved their reaction, it's like alien technology to them. I believe kids today are lucky with all the information they will ever need at their fingertip.

Just imagine what Julian went through with that Victrola strapped to his horse.

The Indiana Jones comment was fantastic... But seriously, these kids know where to connect headphones to an ipod, right (sorry iphone "what's an ipod...?")?
How could they not get that is the same connector?

The other funny comment was the reaction to 'running with those', you would be so tired immediately. haha. Can't believe these kids...

Then, as now, Sony made the best Walkman. I was cutting edge in '89 when the first metal one came out.

That looks like a top of the line portable recorder but not really a Walkman.
