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 1985.

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.

McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.

They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

EGADS, I'm even older than I'd realized!!!

This was really good, Irish... and WAY too close to home!!

*shrugs shoulders* :D

alright i was born in '84 and i started college this fall, have never had an answering machine and still don't, i do remember bottle caps cause we still got glass bottles of pop till i was 5, and as far as the typewriter i have used one, many times before we got a computer and i needed a science fair project done lol :p

OH Man!........ Thanks Irish

You don't realise,how much times have changed.The last few days,I have been cleaning out my garage,for complete remodeling.Under my Trash can,I swept up,a bunch,of flip-tops,
from Beer Cans.Do you realise,how long,it has been,since the flip-
tops for soda & beer,have been attached to the can?In all of the
years,that I have owned the garage,I never had a car in there.
It has always been my motorcycle shop.I worked until 2/3 many a
night & obviously drank alot of beer in there tooIf I knew that I was working late.I'd break a BlackBeauty in my hand,snort it &
chase it with a beer & drink beer ALL night.How times change!

Isn't getting old a trip? I mean, this is really fun all the changes in perception and perspective.

I think his biggest changes NOW are in prescriptions. ;)







lol

But do you have to remind us?
