Things our Kids Are Never Going to Know...

I'm reminded of this tune.......

taking a photography class that doesn't include the word(s) upload, download, sd cards etc.
the joy of taking the pictures (invariably 35mm) and then developing the film & making prints in your home, high school or college darkroom.
They'll never know that feeling of not knowing something...
Going to bed without knowing who starred in that one movie only to wake up in the middle of the night with the answer.
Because the internet removes the need to know anything other than how to run a search.
One skill I see that is lost is the ability to observe and describe ones environment. "It's all, like, hot and stuff, and like, there was some grass and stuff."

given the amount of sneakers and informal footwear worn these
days they'll likely never have the need for a decent shoeshine.......

Sex without condoms without fear. Being able to go on a date without the girl texting every few seconds. Being able to just go for a drive and get away without an electronic leash ( cellphone), without being interrogated about why you didnt have it with you
freedom
most of the things in the OP are also unknown to me...
I'm a bit a weird mix, while all kids around me had at least 1 gameboy laying around somewhere, I had an atari. it quicly broke tough, since it had to turned off/cables removed in a very specific order, once I did one thing in the wrong order and after that it wouldn't turn on anymore...
I also payed outdoors a lot as a kid, but that's what you get in a rural area. and while the era of CD's had already arrived I played casette's, and later vinyl, on the older stereo I got for free when my parents got a new one. it didn't have a cd-player, and casette's and vinyl was also more convenient since I could just play all my parents'old records(my musictaste is very similar to my mother's)
whenever my friends are reminiscing old tv-shows from their childhood(friends that are around the same age), I usually don't know them since I was mostly reading, and if I did watch tv I mostly watched shows like the A-team, dukes of hazzard, alf, married with children. and at one point I discovered south park, it was on a channel that broadcasted in english without subtitles and about the only english I knew at the time was 'good morning', but somehow I still enjoyed watching south park. channel went away and years later I rediscovered south park and was finally able to notice what it was about.
I also watched tom&jerry, untill cartoon network went into the cablepackage you had to pay extra for. sometimes I watched other looney tunes, but not bugs bunny, I really hated bugs bunny, always hoped he died but he always got away somehow and that annoyed me
(but I didn't watch much tv, I was mostly reading or playing outside)
and I still own a regular cellphone while almost everyone around me has gotten a smartphone by now.
I think the next generation will never know phones that easily fit in your pocket
but also no cellphones with external antenna
and chalkboard, even the local elementary got digital schoolboards now... and this is a small villageschool, when I went there they were always complaining they didn't have enough money and made us sell all kinds of stuff door-to-door like postcards, tickets for events/membershipcards, stamps etc, they bought a few things for the playground and then years later were still whining it costed so much and it still wasn't payed off. but apparently they can get government funding for the digital schoolboards, so they can afford to buy something ridiculously expensive for exactly the same purpose as a cheap chalkboard
also it wouldn't surprise me if they quit teaching to write soon, with all the devices writing is almost unnecessary

They have already have started to stop teaching handwriting in high schools. And schools are begging for iPads from the state. Its all down hill brotha. Use less brain and appear more unisex is the new way.
I used to own a genuine transistor radio!
