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.
Their lifetime has always included AIDS.
The CD was introduced the year before they were born.
They have always had cable.
Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.
They can’t imagine what hard contact lenses are.
They never heard: “Where’s the Beef?”
or … “De plane, Boss, de plane..”
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!
