Amateurs. Back in my day we didn't have videos at all, we just ate dirt, and had lead in the air and water. |

I'm trying to think of the equivalent when I was a kid. Dial-up was a thing (some universities and companies and probably some rich folks had better, but the average person that even cared about getting online didn't), but just getting images involved downloading multiple parts of the data from newsgroups and stitching it together. My first thought was maybe watching home videos or AFHV for that media or something like MAD magazine, though neither really seems to fit. |

Big talk coming from a greenhorn with a nucleus. In my day we didn't even have membrane-bound organelles and we did just fine! |

Look at this guy with a cell membrane! Back in my day we had to wrangle ribozymes without the luxury of a lipid bilayer. Yet we still managed to replicate RNA. |

Kids these days read books about romance and knights, and that sort of frivolous waste of time will corrupt the youth into idleness and vanity. They need to work harder in the field, milk the cows and feed the chickens. A book never yet grew a bushel of wheat. -GoodwifeConstance1648 |

That's really interesting, because in Germany we didn't have nickelodeon back then. But mtv and beavis and butthead. |

We had to make those stupid paper mache puppet heads and glue cloth to it for our hands and then put on a puppet show while not one single person went off and worked on a good script! |

Back in my day we watched shows made to sell toys. Some of them, for example TMNT, actually turned out pretty good, but a lot of them do not hold up at all. |
