I just blew my kids' minds when I told them the world wide web didn't exist when I was a kid. My 10 yr old said she ""couldn't live w/o websites."" What invention that your kids take for granted didn't exist when you were a kid?

Cell phones. When I was a young if you wanted to make a phone call you used your house phone or a pay phone. If you happend to breakdown on the side of the road you prayed that you did so near a home or that someone would take the time out of their day to stop and see if they could help. I can still remember the first day that I saw a car phone in my friends father's car. It blew my mind. I was even more surprised to see the same guy replace his pager with a large phone he could carry around. It still blows my mind that the phone that I am typing this on now can be used as a gps, portable media player, camera and video camera. Nevermind that I can surf the Internet and deposit checks with it.

The plethora of bands and music genres we have now and multitude of ways to access the music back in the day Ed Sullivan was MTV. Mixtapes were impossible. So was recording a show. Now I'm using Spotify to stream a foreign band that has no presence in my country and will watch Netflix later.
Pagers. Can't function without mine. Though, for real, Encyclopedias. Just imagine, as a kid writing a report without Wikipedia.
Cds.
My cousin got his first phone when he was 8 and couldn't understand that I didn't have one when I was that age too. I had to explain that the were like bricks when I was 8, they didn't really get popular with the people I hung around with until I was about 13.
I remember when youtube was new and not super popular. I look it now and feel like I could cry. Something I loved so much turned into such a huge steaming pile of dog shit. Riddled with ads and a retarded comment section layout

"My son and I were watching Cujo. When the mom and child were trapped in the car, my son said "Why don't they just use their cellphone?" "
