The very fast changes and developments in technology are regular news items. Our children are growing up in a world that is more grounded in technology than ever before.
Children nowadays don't recognize the technology their parents grew up with. There are videos and articles that show children trying to use outdated technology. It's funny to watch them try to work out what to do with a telephone that does not have a touch screen and watch the video about children trying to work out what to do with a cassette tape and a Walkman. The machines once familiar to parents are now very strange to their kids.
Who can remember when black - and - white television became colour television? One parent posted on social media that she was watching a rerun (重新播放) of a show popular in the 1950s with her young son. He asked her what was wrong with the television because the show had been filmed in black and white. He had never seen anything on television in black and white.
Television channels now broadcast 24 hours a day. In the past, television programmes had a start and finish time. After the last programme, the test pattern appeared on the screen. It showed that the transmitter (发射机) was working but that no programme was being broadcast. These patterns were also used when there was a problem with the broadcasting. Can you imagine what children would do now if they saw this kind of symbol on the screen in front of them?
To show children the technology that their parents once used, but that children don't understand is the focus of the travelling exhibit the National History Museum has put together. It features items that are now just a memory for the older generation. Go and see the exhibition now!

### 文章部分
科技的飞速变革与发展是常见的新闻题材。我们的孩子成长在一个比以往任何时候都更以科技为根基的世界里。
如今的孩子不认识他们父母成长时期的科技产品。有一些视频和文章展示了孩子们尝试使用过时的科技产品的情景。看着他们试图弄明白如何使用没有触摸屏的电话，以及观看关于孩子们试图弄明白如何使用盒式磁带和随身听的视频，都很有趣。父母们曾经熟悉的机器现在对他们的孩子来说非常陌生。
谁还记得黑白电视是什么时候变成彩色电视的？一位家长在社交媒体上发帖说，她和年幼的儿子正在看一部20世纪50年代流行的电视剧的重播。他问她电视出了什么问题，因为这部剧是用黑白拍摄的。他从未在电视上看过任何黑白的节目。
现在电视频道一天24小时播出。过去，电视节目有开始和结束时间。最后一个节目结束后，测试图案就会出现在屏幕上。它表明发射机在工作，但没有节目在播出。当广播出现问题时，也会使用这些图案。你能想象现在的孩子如果看到他们面前的屏幕上出现这种符号会怎么做吗？
为了向孩子们展示他们父母曾经使用过，但孩子们不了解的科技，这是国家历史博物馆组织的巡回展览的重点。它展示了现在对老一辈人来说只是回忆的物品。现在就去看这个展览吧！
