To start with, "typewriters." My other half told me about two years ago his young niece (then 11 years old) asked him, "Uncle Carl, what's a typewriter?"

Add to that list, rotary dial telephones. When my middle boy was 8 (he's 25 now) we moved into a house with a wall mounted rotary phone. He had the number of a kid he had just met and wanted to call him. I said okay, use the phone in the kitchen (it was already connected). He stood and looked at the phone for a good 5 minutes before he asked, "Where are the buttons? How do I use this thing?"
