00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,319
we recently had Sage reach out to us about sponsoring a piece of content that

2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:10,679
demonstrated the benefits of their security and home automation

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:15,559
ecosystem but as I was sitting on the couch tinkering with their Hub that

4
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:21,000
connects to your TV I realized something my son who just turned four wasn't

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:24,519
impressed At All by the idea that the doorbell ringing could trigger a

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:28,960
notification on my phone and a picture in picture view of whoever's standing

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:34,800
outside he took it completely for granted so I was inspired to create this

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,879
list of seven differences between when I was his age and

9
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:54,039
today first things first when I was the same age as my eldest son all of my toys

10
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,399
required me to do all the voices and the

11
00:00:54,039 --> 00:01:00,079
actions myself this fraking thing would have

12
00:00:57,879 --> 00:01:05,560
completely blown my mind it even knows his name I'm pretending to be a horse

13
00:01:04,199 --> 00:01:10,600
and that's not the only thing that does all the work for you I mean burn stain

14
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:16,880
Bears visit the dentist is great and all but this this is progress believe the

15
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:24,560
Ewok think C3PO is magical number two video games were

16
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:26,759
Nostalgia filter aside objectively worse

17
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:32,720
and I was one of the lucky ones I had a Game Gear I mean that thing had a color

18
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:34,920
screen back in 1990 just too bad it only

19
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:39,479
stayed on for about 3 hours every time you put six ablea batteries in it a

20
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:46,840
practice that would probably make the mobile games with autosave generation

21
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:48,840
say very cringe much old man technology

22
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:52,759
if they even say that anymore number three movie content may have been

23
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:57,840
similar or better I'll put home word bound up against Jango Unchained or

24
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:04,759
whatever any day but finding physical media realizing it's not

25
00:02:04,759 --> 00:02:12,080
rewind my kids won't even know that those were Innovations to put it in

26
00:02:09,239 --> 00:02:17,640
context I graduated high school when YouTube was invented and my kids will

27
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:22,519
take for granted that watching any video they want is as simple as clicking an

28
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:26,879
icon not to mention the constant interruptions if the doorbell rang

29
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:31,800
during my Saturday morning cartoons I had to get off my butt and go see who it

30
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:34,160
was which

31
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:37,599
okay so nothing quite like that ever happened you can tell cuz I'm standing

32
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:40,800
here today but this is one of the coolest things about the sage home

33
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:44,280
automation system you've got a picture and picture view of the scary guy so

34
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:48,480
you've at least got a few second Head Start to go hide under your blanket

35
00:02:46,519 --> 00:02:54,000
number four well I'm pretty sure that every generation thinks homework is a

36
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:55,760
total drag trust me kids it was worse

37
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:01,800
when I was a kid I mean that was even before in Carta encyclopedia on CD ROM

38
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:06,159
when we had to actually sign out actual books from an actual Library most of

39
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:11,159
which were horrifyingly out of date because yay school funding and don't

40
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:15,519
even get me started on pens I mean between the backspace button and

41
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:19,280
Wikipedia which may not be perfect but it's a great starting point the new

42
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:23,799
generation's only excuse for being uninformed is pure

43
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:28,560
laziness which leads us pretty well into number five when I was already snuggled

44
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:33,760
up in bed in the winter and I wanted to turn off the lights I had to get off my

45
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:37,280
butt and turn off a light switch or if I was one of the cool kids I might have

46
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:43,080
had a Clapper just don't install those things too close to each other hey by

47
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:47,959
contrast there is an entire generation of people for whom not being able to

48
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:53,439
control lights with a phone or a smartwatch is going to be completely

49
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:56,040
Unthinkable number six communication was

50
00:03:53,439 --> 00:04:01,840
a completely different animal thank you cards were written by hand I'm pretty

51
00:03:59,079 --> 00:04:06,519
sure my son has grandma on Facebook and for voice communication you actually had

52
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:11,360
to remember your friend's number or look it up in the phone book everyone just

53
00:04:08,519 --> 00:04:15,760
doesn't understand me you know and even then privacy was never a guarantee like

54
00:04:13,799 --> 00:04:20,560
if if they would just listen then they would they would understand me better

55
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:24,919
you know just a sec hey is someone

56
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,919
listening this this is

57
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:33,320
awesome seven is one thing that may have actually seemed better at the time

58
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:37,400
coming home after school there was pretty much no way for my parents to

59
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:42,160
know if I was actually practicing with piano or not but from a parents

60
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:46,479
perspective being able to check in on the home and see if workbooks are

61
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:52,800
actually being completed is a pretty big Boon number eight music playback has

62
00:04:50,039 --> 00:04:57,360
definitely improved CDs brought improved audio quality and easy track skipping

63
00:04:55,639 --> 00:05:02,280
but even that improvement over cassette tape sucks compared to subscription

64
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:06,320
music services that cost the same as a handful of albums per year would have

65
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,840
especially when you factor in that most of the songs weren't even things that

66
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:16,080
you'd like with that said though you could make the argument that the quality

67
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:18,800
of the music itself hasn't changed

68
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:23,720
much so thanks for watching guys if this video made you cringe you know what to

69
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:28,000
do but if it was awesome or you know got some of the Nostalgia juices flowing hit
