Got one living with me who falls into this category. She about lost her mind when I showed her a laser disc; thought it was some kind of special record. Yes, that’s the world we live in, now: kids collect records and cassettes, but have never seen a blu-ray.

Even more so when you realize they aren’t even digital, they use analog NTSC, PAL signal modulation / encoding.

Wait, they do? I always assumed they were digital…

Edit: well damn yeah they’re just shiny records… from Wikipedia “The surface of the disc is covered with small holes that are read by a laser.”
