Just in case
you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things. Each year
the staff at Beloit College in Wisconsin puts together a list to try to give the
faculty a sense of the Mindset 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 1993.
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 2 years before 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.
Mc Donald'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 on your list. Notice the larger type, that's for those
of you who have trouble reading..
So have a nice day!!!!! It is good to
have friends who know about these things and are still alive and
kicking!!!!
