I'm feeling pretty old as I read this article. I used to have Walkmen too.

I'm 24 and this makes me feel old. Can't really imagine not knowing how tapes work...

[xValentine Posted Jun 29th 2009 9:35AM]

Damn, I've never had a "Walkmen" before.

[Joshua (Unverified) Posted Jun 29th 2009 9:39AM]

Plural, genius.

(In before someone quoting Wikipedia that I was wrong).

[xValentine Posted Jun 29th 2009 9:56AM]

Yeah right, let's call Humans, "Humen" from now on.

[Eternal Density Posted Jun 29th 2009 10:03AM]

And lets call mutants "mutent".

I'm 26 and this makes me feel really old! One year for Christmas all I wanted was a Walkman so I could listen to my :cough, cough: MC Hammer tapes anywhere I wanted. Before laughing keep in mind he was well respected in 1990-91! Anyway, I got my walkman and I used to run around outside listening to that thing non stop. I couldn't believe how great it was to be able to take my music with me.

Then I remember getting one of the early discman(men?) in 1994, skip tastic experience is all I can say and quite a lumbering beast of a device, bigger than my old walkman was lol.

The fact that this device is now so ancient a 13-year-old has never even seen one, shocks me incredibly, although I guess it shouldn't. Hey, when I was a kid I listened to my parents vast record collection so I knew how records worked even though cassettes had beaten them out at that point, no excuse on the tapes kids!

Er, let's.

I'm 73, and this makes me feel pretty old.

[ZaxCG2 Posted Jun 29th 2009 10:41AM]

Haha... well I'm 20 and I feel old. I can't believe at age 13 kids have never seen a walkman. I guess if they ever did they wouldn't remember it.

[Hex Posted Jun 29th 2009 10:47AM]

Hell, I'm only 19, and I feel old reading this... I remember using my Dad's walkman when I was little. Oh, the memories.

[Boolean22 Posted Jun 29th 2009 12:03PM]

Guys, once I asked my nephew if he knew who Wonder Woman was, and he couldn't answer. He is 13 now, and that was BEFORE the new episodes of Justice League in Cartoon Network... It almost made me cry in despair.

@boolean22

Er, Walkman, Wonder Woman ? Whats the connection ?

@xValentine
By Walkmen, I meant the plural of Walkman. I had 2 of these. Oh, the shame.

Well, my girlfriend's nieces were amazed when they played vinyl records for the first time. The oldest one was 14, I guess.

[celloids Posted Jun 29th 2009 1:00PM]

Now I am very confused, how old is 32 exactly?

[jgpuff Posted Jun 29th 2009 1:15PM]

ghex, it's about 2^5.

[Toy Yoda (Unverified) Posted Jun 29th 2009 2:24PM]

And Martians, "Martien".

[TyMaYoJa (Unverified) Posted Jun 29th 2009 3:08PM]

@j_g_puff

2^5, classic! well done, lol.

[mikey (Unverified) Posted Jun 29th 2009 2:47PM]

I had a walkman back when I was a kid. It had the option to automatically switch sides :D Then I got my hands on a shock protected Diskman... It was a wrap after that. That thing went EVERYWHERE with me lol

[Ridgecity (Unverified) Posted Jun 29th 2009 3:23PM]

I call the franch, "the french"...

[MrNuclear (Unverified) Posted Jun 30th 2009 12:26AM]

On my Walkman, if you half held the play button and the FF button simultaneously, the songs sounded like they were performed by the Chipmunks.

[chansthename Posted Jun 30th 2009 4:01AM]

aaahh the wonders of technology, having chipmunks always ready to sing songs to you.
