Children struggle mightily to operate 1970s computer in latest ‘Kids React’ vid

It didn’t have any apps, internet, or a CD drive. But yes, it still was a computer.

The latest “Kids React” video shows a group of young children trying to use a 1970s computer. As one might imagine, confusion ran wild.

“It’s huge, very huge,” said one boy.

“If you don’t have a desk, where do you put this?” asked another, trying to comprehend the computer’s size.

The short video shows the children struggling to turn on the computer, enter commands, and use a floppy disk.

Frustration levels rise as the video progresses.

“I don’t get it and I also don’t get the 1970s,” one boy said.

Indeed, the children were stunned to have learned there was a time when the internet did not exist. Eventually, all the children successfully entered a floppy disk and played an old-style computer game.

It turns out old technology isn’t all that bad.

“I like this better than ‘flappy bird,'” a girl said of the computer game.
