The first time the boys were in the car to take a spin, they looked at something on the interior door panels that they just couldn't figure out - something looked strange to them. "Dad, what are these little lever-things on the doors?"

They'd never seen a car with window cranks instead of power windows!!! YIKES!! 
It's all "generational", though. I think about what transpired or didn't exist when my parents were growing up that amaze me. Same with things I remember taking place when I was growing up. And then to look at what's happened over the course of the latest generation - simply astounding, particularly when it comes to technological advances and the impact they've had on so many things.
