"Weird phase for tech" is a nice euphemism for "knows what casettes are, but didn't have to put them into computers anymore."

I agree though that it is crazy. I remember it being a big thing for teenagers being 14,15 when i was 7 or 8 to get their own mobile phone. The kids born in 2001 onwards often had their first smartphone at 8 or 9

Putting cassettes in computer is OLD. Like... Gen X old.

I was born in 81 and my first computer used a cassette tape. I’m not sure what it was so I’ve never tried looking up how old it was I guess.
