KungFuPanda Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 My son is using SOTW vol 2 in a co-op this year. The co-op begins Thursday. I did not purchase this book because I already own it. My daughter used it 7 years ago. Sooooo, it's crunch time and I can't find the book AND he has to read a chapter BEFORE we go to the first co-op. Yes, Virginia, there IS a Santa Claus. PHP had the book available as a downloadable PDF. It now sits safely on my iBookshelf on my iPod. Crisis averted. I love technology :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No internet. No iPod. I'm not sure how they survived. I feel like ordering the downloadable PDF just so I can have a copy on my iPad :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) Aren't you glad we're not back in the 80's? No SOTW. No internet. No iPod. I'm not sure how they survived.:) I don't have a clue how I survivied the 80's. No cell phones?! Gah! It was a pain then. I remember being places and being aggravated that I had no phone access. I remember sitting outside a closed library, crying. I never want to go back. Edited September 7, 2011 by LibraryLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 You should see my kids' faces when I explain about life with no Internet and telephones that attach to the wall. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 You should see my kids' faces when I explain about life with no Internet and telephones that attach to the wall. :glare: Oh yeah. My oldest has no idea what a cassette tape is. My youngest will never know what a cd is. The has never been a time in their lives when we did not have Internet access, cell phones, etc. Such a different world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinaBreece Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Oh yeah. My oldest has no idea what a cassette tape is. My youngest will never know what a cd is. The has never been a time in their lives when we did not have Internet access, cell phones, etc. Such a different world. Mine have always been around computers/Internet/cell phones, too. The one thing I'm really glad of is that I still have a record player (my grandparents bought it for me when I was 8-- to listen to their old story records) so at least my little people can have a good grasp on the history of personal/consumer music. DD likes to listen to old Psalty the Song Book records. And DS's favorite record right now is Abby Road. Warms my heart!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerPoppy Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I have a retro kid who is only (mostly) interested in music from the 50s - 90s, cartoons from the 80s - 90s, has been begging me for a record player, and scoffs at the kids who like Justin Beiber, Hannah Montana, and the like, meanwhile cranking up Bohemian Rhapsody on our computer. Oh, and she wants a GAME BOY for her birthday, she says. She's 9. I'm all warm and fuzzy inside. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 We do have cassette tapes (our library has lots of books on 'tape', still) and we have cassette (which we use mostly for our music & books on the iPod) and CD players in the car. We also have a 'record player'. My oldest took a record player to grad school with him. Of course, he also has a heavily loaded iPod and iPhone. We know lots of 'hipsters' lol who listen to actual records and have very intersting collections. What I don't think my kids have ever seen are Eight- Tracks. I barely remember them.
