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
