StormSurge Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 "How do I turn this on?" Do these kids not know how to read the words "Power", "On" & "Off"??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari 5200 Guy Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Sadly our education system is not as good as it use to be. Seriously...we were taught to think outside the box, to explore things, learn as you go. At least I was. Now it is almost against some school rules to do anything like that. We do have a lot of technology that isn't bad...but it is not as interactive and imaginative as those older computers and game systems were. I remember one Pac-Man like game on a computer that was made up of ASCII characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
