    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 the early 2000's.
    • 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 10 years or more before they were born.
    • They have always had an answering machine.
    • They have always had cable.
    • They cannot fathom not having a remote control..
    • 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.."
    • Mc Donald'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!!!!
