KS2 Weekly Junior comments

What invention did your parents or carers use when they were children that is no longer commonly used today?

Evangeline (Year 5)

My mum said that when she was younger all emails and going on websites was done on a computer not a mobile phone because they didn’t exist like they do now. If you were on a computer no one could use the phone at the same time because you would lose your connection.

Aaliyah (Year 5)

My mum told me that she used to have a pager. She was able to receive messages on there like a text message and she could reply back but you couldn’t make calls on it. She also said that when she was in college she used to save all her work on a floppy disc, now we can save work on our computers. My mum also said that her first mobile phone was a Nokia and you could remove the whole battery and the battery would last a long time and you could make your own ringtones for the Nokia. Also her classroom did not have a whiteboard like we do but they had a projector and you had to turn the lights down to see what was on the paper but she did have a blackboard and you could use chalk to write and a wiper thing to rub the chalk out.
