Today watching Ellen, there was a competition. Apparently in a previous show, they had a Baby boomer on and suggested that she take a photo with a digital camera and she had it back to front. I would have thought that someone from that era would have been okay but no. I checked the ages for BBs and they were born between 1947 and 196, put me slap bang in the middle.
Today they chose a millenium which I thought should have been born since 2000 but Mr Google tells me that the ages are between 26 and 40 years of age. The girl who they pulled out of the audience had graduated from uni and she looked about 20.
Anyway, they showed her three items from Baby boomer times. One was a boom box, a manual typewriter and lastly a 35mm camera. She had a couple of guesses before she got to a boombox, the other two she did know. Then the test. She had to find a certain radio station, Ellen had to help with the aerial. With the typewriter, she had to load the paper and type a sentence putting the paper in was a challenge an trying to load the camera with film was a nightmare for her. She ended up closing the back with half the film hanging out. She did receive a 65cm tv for her five minutes of fame.
Good to know that we do have skills that not everyone has.
