Top 10 Things Today's Kids Will Never Experience
The class of 2014 doesn't wear watches, doesn't write in cursive and has no idea why Nirvana is awesome. That's according to Beloit College's annual Mindset List, aimed at helping teachers understand today's cultural references. TIME takes a look at other bygone experiences today's kids will miss.
Camera Film
In old photo cameras — you know, the ones with film — you have to concentrate on every shot, every frame, because you paid for some 24 exposures, and there are no do-overs. But today's digital cameras are an endless blank slate, where the number of shots you can take seem limitless and mistakes are erased with a click. And they continue to become more practical, convenient and awesome, especially the new iPhone 4 (with a built-in flash) and the new Nikon Coolpix S1100pj, which includes a projector that allows you to view life-size images and video on a wall. Gone are the days of hearing the film rewind into its casing, transporting it to a photo lab and patiently waiting to find out how amateurish your snapshots look. In this instance, the present definitely trumps the past.
