I saw someone joke that there's only one generation in the history of mankind that knows how to set the time on a microwave. Our parents couldn't do it. And now our children can't do it.

We won't be able to do it either soon, as they will mandate connecting with it through an app and we're like fuck that. (if we're not already there)

I have heard that told with “VCR” in place of microwave. We still have a microwave that needs clock set when power fails. We do not have a VCR.

Only our gen knows how to hook up and how to enter the main menu of a DVD player.
