Young kids today are planted in front of an old Apple II and have no idea what to do

“It can really do nothing.”

“It’s about as good as a footstool”

These were just some of the hilarious reactions that a group of young kids had when shown an old Apple II. It’s funny that a computer that was so revolutionary and impactful for its time is now nothing more than a device that elicits a collective “huh?” from younger generations. There’s no GUI, no mouse, basically nothing on the old OS that resonates in any way whatsoever with these kids. The end result is a hilarious, and perhaps nostalgic, trip down memory lane.
