Does rewinding a movie have anything to do with winding a wristwatch?
Why is a screen saver called a screen saver?
Why do people talk about “dialing” a phone number?
How do you “load” a camera?
Why might you need white-out while typing?
Why would a needle scratch a record?”
On his blog, Stephen’s Lighthouse, Stephen Abram added:
OK, how does this apply to libraries?
Have most kids ever seen a book pocket?
Have most kids ever gotten their book stamped?
Does anyone ever see catalogues any more?
Does anyone ever touch a catalogue "card"?
What’s a record? (vinyl!)
What’s the video in videogame?
Will we need to continue much longer to ask folks to rewind things when returning them?
I am sure you can think of more...
