These Kids See A VCR Player For The First Time, Their Reactions Are Priceless

It’s funny to think that VCRs and VHS tapes only just became obsolete in the early 2000’s. Sure, DVDs were obviously the superior technology, but so many people still had VCRs so it took them awhile to die off. With those days behind us now, Blu-ray and DVDs now control the market. It would be impossible to go back. Unfortunately, these kids didn’t have a choice

This classic YouTube series titled “Kids React” takes children between the ages of 6-12 and put them in a room with novelty items from yesteryear. The most recent video took a group of kids and put a VCR in front of them. Their reactions are priceless. Watching them struggle to figure out how to put the VHS tape in the machine is worth the watch. Most of the kids had never even heard of a VHS tape, let alone a VCR. These kids have grown up with Netflix, On Demand, RedBox, and other services. The host of the show did his best to explain what a video store was, but as you can imagine, the kids couldn’t comprehend it.
