2. 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 1992.  

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 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.

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 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
