I recently watched "Karate Kid" with my 8 year old son. I was trying to explain that the reason it looked so good because it was shot on film instead of digital. And we still call making movies "Filming" even though the film is long gone.

Explaining film to a kid that only knows digital cameras was not so easy. "You edit it by cutting long strips apart and taping it back together." "You have to go into a dark room and wash the film in chemical baths." Sounds like some sort of magic ritual.

Now I am wondering if I just think the look of film is better because that is what I watched when I was a kid. Maybe todays kids will think digital looks better.
