Teens freak out at Windows 95: It looks dull and ancient
Kids these days don't know the hardships us older folks (that means over 30) had to endure back in the early days of personal computing, like hoping that a 5¼-inch disk still works or squinting at a monochrome monitor.
But Windows 95, as old as it is, should still be pretty recognizable, right?
Wrong. In a new YouTube video by Fine Brothers Entertainment, we see teenagers react to a Windows 95 computer, and...well, let's just say they barely know how to turn it on.

The adjectives kids use to describe Microsoft's 20-year-old OS include "prehistoric," "dull" and "ancient," but most of them are able to recognize that, underneath the "rough" appearance, it's still pretty similar to the current variants of Windows.
Wait until they realize the computer doesn't have Wi-Fi, though.
We don't blame these kids at all. Nostalgia aside, we wouldn't want to go in this period of the computer past, either. Now, where did I put my floppy disk case?
