These kids and their darn technology

Think you had it hard trying to decide on whether to get a fancy new Blu-Ray player or just another old, reliable DVD player this Christmas? Just be glad you didn’t have to do your holiday shopping back in the old wild west days of home video.

Watch the three reports below and get a small taste of the exciting, yet confusing world of prerecorded content that our parents found themselves unexpectedly thrust into. It’ll make you want to run home and hug your rabbit ear antennae.

Added bonuses: stick around to the end of the first video for a vintage commercial about “a totally modern hero” and hear what is quite possibly the most important question ever asked at the conclusion of the third video.
