A couple from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, tested if their 15-year-old daughter could operate a boombox and cassette tape.

Footage shows the teenager looking very confused as she unboxed a boombox and cassette tape from the 1980s.

The mother, known as @momma_t_75 online, told Newsflare: "Our 15-year-old daughter asked us one day if we just sat around reading magazines and hanging clothes on the line when her dad handed her an Ulta magazine. She said our lives must have been boring back in the 80’s.

"She even Googled what we did in the 80s and said we sat around the TV, went bowling, fishing, hunting and the roller rink.

"It got me thinking, could she work some of the technology we used, so I immediately went to Amazon and ordered this boombox and a Tiffany cassette tape (because what girl in the 80s didn’t like Tiffany) when it arrived I told her I had a gift for her.

"I explained to her she can’t Google, read directions or ask us to help. We had so much fun doing this with her and never dreamed it would get so many views and reactions.

"It has now made me want to start a series of her trying things from the 80s and other times. I am so glad so many got a few laughs and got to see how fun spending time with your kids can be. We have lost that I believe with all the technology."

We gave our 15 year old a boom box and cassette tape to see if she could make it work , we live at the beach. Can we get our beach bum to play the 80’s hits?
