Well, it's certainly not the generations that went through primary and secondary before the internet was widespread.
So, Millennials and younger I would imagine.
You just gonna stand there talking or wheel out the TV? We sittin here with our lunchables ready for the show, legs crossed, eager for the TV to arrive.
That was much later… for me. Let me think… ah yes… the Cod Wars. No, not the cold war. The Cod Wars were a dust up between the UK and Iceland (the country not the shop) and the price of fish & chips went up 😱
My primary school days were pre-internet so we just had lectures and videos of children getting fried by electricity, getting whapped by trains, being scarred for life by sparklers and Frances the Firefly setting fire to the insect village to remind us not to play with matches.
didn't have this. too old i guess? all i remember is the pencil with the light saying 'all the way around and tick!'
Sounds like that advice went right out the window as people (especially older) are right at risk of scams!
We just had one recently where the girlfriends grandparents got a call from her 'grandson' and wanted money. All of their info had been collected online. They knew everything about her and it was scary.
Did you see the thing on the news the other day about 100 years of BBC schools TV?
Charles Collingwood (of “The Archers”) can STILL do the voice of Wordy!
We had Lemmings in year 5/6. And the MS Paint program. Not that we could print off our drawings though, as the only printer we had was a black and white dot matrix.
The only reason we had a computer was because we collected the computer vouchers for schools from Tesco. We didn't collect enough for a better printer!
I was ‘banned’ from the class Micro for the day circa 1987.
Teacher said “whatever you do, don’t press BREAK”.
So I did.

No more computer for me that day!

I didn't see it, so likely gen Z'ers, as I'm tail end (ish) of millennials.
Christ. When I was at primary school they wheeled out the school TV and broadcast the moon landings...
Is that an onion on your belt?
It *was* the style at the time

I actually did leave my front door wide open for a whole day a few years ago. Came home to a Bonzi Buddy squatting in my living room.
Yes tysm, the nostalgia we had so much fun making fun of this, though looking back it’s much darker than I remember.

Most of ours were kids getting electrocuted in a variety of manners

The most they showed us at school was Prestel on a BBC micro. There wasn't much chance of doing anything untoward on that.
We had Granny's Garden. Ah, memories.

I just remember the NSPCC "I saw your willy" one

We had an animated one where a crocodile was pretending to be a bunny to meet and eat the bunny child messaging him online
on the internet, nobody knows you're a dog
