Just in case you
weren't feeling too old today,this will certainly change things. Each year the
staff at Beloit College in Wisconsin put together a list to try to give the
faculty a sense of the mind set of this year's incoming freshmen.
Here's
this year's list:
The people who are starting college this fall across
the nation were born in 1983.
They are too young to remember the space
shuttle blowing up.
Their lifetime has always included AIDS.
Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.
The CD was
introduced the year they were born.
They have always had an answering
machine.
They have always had cable.
They
cannot fathom not having a remote control.
Jay Leno has always been on
the Tonight Show.
Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.
They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.
They can't
imagine what hard contact lenses are.
They don't know who Mork was or
where he was from.
They never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a
mile for a Camel", or "de plane Boss, de plane".
They do not care who
shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is.
Michael Jackson has
always been white.
McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.
They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.
Do you feel old
yet? Pass this on to the other old fogies in your life.
