What are some items that the new generation has not seen before?

At my first job, the lady who did all the money used an ''adding machine'', that you would pull down a handle to give you the total!!!
I guess calculators were not on the market? Of course that was over 40 years ago.
Also every home would have 'carpet sweeper'', a little box, with wheels on the underneath, that had also bristles and you could get up crumbs, or the like.
It would have a long handle, to move around the room.

We have one of those adding machines in our time capsule. The boys took it apart recently and I couldn't believe what is below the hood!

I KNOW!!! an amazing machine indeed :)

Music is now getting smaller and smaller from cassettes to discs to mp3 players, I guess newer gen has not seen the huge gramophone records and the mega size polyvinyl discs.

Cassette players, video recorders and players that had the large tapes and also telex and electric typewriters.
