1980-luvulla syntyneet vanhemmat haastavat teini-ikäisiä lapsiaan laittamaan kasettinauhan kasettisoittimeen – ja heidän kamppailunsa on kerrassaan vaikuttavaa katsottavaa.
Eikä se ole mikään ihme. Nykyiset sukupolvet ovat syntyneet maailmaan, jossa musiikkia kuunnellaan yhdellä napautuksella älypuhelimen ruudulta tai vain pyytämällä virtuaaliavustajaa soittamaan jotain.
TikTokissa jaetut videot ovat naurattaneet nettiä näyttämällä, miten vanhat stereolaitteet (no, eivät ne niin vanhoja ole) voivat näyttää täysin järjettömiltä koneilta nuorille, jotka ovat tottuneet selkeisiin kuvakkeisiin puhelinten ja tablettien näytöillä.
Eräässä videossa isä pyytää poikaansa laittamaan kasetin soittimeen. Poika istuu sängyllä, pyörittelee laitetta ja yrittää ymmärtää, miten se toimii – eikä hänellä selvästikään ole aavistustakaan, mistä pitäisi aloittaa.
Lopulta hän löytää napin, joka avaa kasettipesän, mutta tarvitsee silti useamman yrityksen saadakseen kasetin paikoilleen oikein.
00:00Did he get it? Nope, he still haven't got it yet.
00:09Oh, he got it!
00:11I saw it, there's a slit right there.
00:13Yes, in the door! That's the reason the door tilts open.
00:17You do have some that open like that, but...
00:21Okay, now you need to turn it on and rewind it.
00:25Is it even working? Oh, I haven't turned it on yet.
00:33Wait, is there like a specific button to turn it on?
00:37It doesn't automatically turn it on.
00:55See, you just push it back.
00:57It's not my fault, it's not very hard.
01:03I don't even have a check.
01:05This is low tech.
01:07Low tech.
01:09It's not low tech for me.
01:11It is low tech.
01:13I've never seen one in person.
01:15Low tech.
01:17Hint, what are you trying to access?
01:23What function?
01:25The cassette.
01:35Because it has several functions on it.
01:37They're actually good.
01:39So, now, have you accessed...
01:41Have you changed it to that?
01:43Yeah, it's on good speed.
01:47Okay, now is it responding?
01:49No.
01:51Is it powered on anything?
01:57Is there a power button that you need to push?
01:59Yeah.
02:01Like I said, I haven't even used it yet.
02:07I haven't even used it yet, so...
02:11You're the first one to plug it in.
02:22So, what about radio?
02:24Is it...
02:27Turn it on and see if anything happens to radio.
02:31Turn the volume on.
02:37You should have still plugged in.
02:41It didn't come loose or anything, did it?
02:47That's 100%.
02:53Stop.
02:54Stop.
02:55Stop.
02:56Okay.
02:57Now, I have given him a boombox.
02:59I had him to plug in the cord.
03:02Which, that took about a minute to find out where it goes.
03:06Now, the main objective is to take this cassette, which is an old mix that I did like years ago, put it in, rewind it to the beginning, and press play.
03:22Now, at this point, we're at the point where he can't even get the door open on the boombox.
03:28It's not opening though.
03:29It's not.
03:30I know you're supposed to press down.
03:32Really?
03:33See, I know I'm supposed to go in there.
03:35Sure, there's not a button on top.
03:39Sure, there's not a button on top.
03:52Yes, the one that says eject.
03:54All right, now let's see if he can put it in.
03:58Successful?
03:59Did you put it here right?
04:04You're gonna play this thing.
04:07No.
04:08No.
04:09Wait, how?
04:12Uh-oh now he's really in a pimp.
04:16Well, it came out.
04:20Let's see.
04:25This is going to use up a lot of space on my phone right here.
04:39I don't know what is happening.
04:46Nope.
04:47Nope.
04:48That didn't work.
04:49Almost.
04:50I know it's supposed to be backwards because it doesn't work.
