I bet the reaction was similar to what my teenage kids had when I showed them some VHS tapes I found in storage.

The initial reaction was - What is that? How do you play the video? I happen to have a old VCR in storage and a USB 2.0 capture dongle. Hooked it up and showed them some old family videos. So their final comment was - why is the video quality so bad?

What was their reaction like, for those of us who don't have teenagers at home to repeat the experiment on?

It's generally "how do I dial?", followed by them trying to press the holes in the dial, and, when told to rotate it, they rotate it to dial before picking up the handset.

It might have been similar to your reaction when you saw (depending on your age):

a floppy disk (3.5")

a floppy disk (5.25")

a floppy disk (8")
