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.
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.
Save the earth. It's the only planet with chocolate.

Typewriter: Imagine a computer keyboard built onto a printer-then
imagine everytime you push a letter button, the "printing" part of the
machine puts the letter on the paper immediately-so don't make
mistakes. That's a typewriter, sort of. And though you may not know
what these things mean, remember there are a lot of older people
around who really understand all this, no matter how useful or useless
the informatin may be.

pimpalicous on April 28, 2007 at 11:30
J.R is Jerry Reef and he was the first man ever to cross a duck with a
pig. He was shot by a jelous rival as he was winning the nobel prize.
Space shuttle is a brand of chocolate bar that took the world b storm
in 1979.
