Beloit does this every year. Always very interesting. (And it will make you feel old.)

Sadly, neither do outgoing seniors.

Yup. And the really sad thing is, they get worse as a result of the Freshman Composition courses.

But I don't get the wristwatch lament. Pretty much all of us now carry things that double as pocketwatches (cell phones, PDAs, Blackberries or other devices combining cell phone and PDA functions). I'm so used to reaching into my pocket for the time, I'd prefer a pocketwatch as a non-electronic backup device for time-telling in the event of an EMP.
