Younger people are not stupid, a technician that's able to write software knows what a floppy disk is. I also know how a phonograph cylinder works and they went out of time a little longer ago.

I never suggested they were stupid. Just that they may not know the details. So I explained it.

Yeah, there's always somebody that might learn something new by coming across it for the first time. :D

If there was an internet meme based on the premise that somone is trying to play a record with a bent needle, I would probably need someone from the generation familiar with common phonograph problems to explain that to me. I didn't know bent needles were a common problem for phonographs until I looked it up just now.
