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 1989. They are too young to remember the 1st 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."
