For some, it may only seem like yesterday that pagers, cassette tapes and floppy disks were everyday items. 对有些人来说，寻呼机，磁带，软盘这些常用之物仿佛还是昨天的事情。 But for millenials, these 1990s technologies are completely alien. 但是对于千禧一代，也就是90后来说，这些到底是什么鬼，完全没见过。 So alien, in fact, that a new study has found that two thirds of 6-18-year-olds don't know what a floppy disk is and nearly half have never heard of a cassette tape. 之所以这么说，也不是空穴来风，根据最新的一项研究表明，有三分之二年龄在6-18岁的青少年听说过软盘的人只有一半，他们从来都没有听说过磁带。 And although they were widespread in schools in the 1990s, today 71 per cent of children are unfamiliar with overhead projectors. 在20世纪90年代，那时在学校司空见惯的高射投影仪，现在也有71%的学生完全不了解。 Researchers at YouGov showed 2,011 children photographs of different technologies and asked them to name each one.[en] 在YouGov研究者们向2011名儿童展示了不同科技产品的图片，然后让他们识别。 If they thought they knew what it was, they were asked to write down its name. 如果他们觉得自己认识这个产品，就要求他们写下该产品的名称。 |
