Dad Life 46-2 – The Technology Gap: From Walkmans to iPads


Listen Later

This week’s Dad Life episode dives into the great technology gap — that hilarious and sometimes humbling experience of trying to explain our childhood gadgets to kids who carry more tech power in their pockets than NASA had in the ’90s.

We talk about:

🎮 The consoles we grew up with — and the disbelief on our kids’ faces when we tell them loading a game used to take minutes (and sometimes a cassette tape!)
🎧 Explaining Walkmans, floppy disks, and dial-up internet to the iPad generation
📱 The pros and cons of modern tech — instant access to everything, but sometimes at the cost of patience, imagination, and face-to-face fun
👨‍👧‍👦 How we can bridge the gap, sharing nostalgia while helping our kids appreciate the tech they have today

It’s a fun, reflective episode full of laughs, nostalgia, and a healthy dose of “back in my day…” energy.
