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 1998.
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 7 year s 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.."
They do not care who shot J. R.
& have no idea who J. R. even is.
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 use 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!!!!
I wasn’t very hip in ‘66...but I do have two metal hips (which guarantees that I’ll always be molested at the TSA desk).
clever!
1966: hanging 10 and toting a 45, 2021: 10 don’t hold that 45
The kids starting college this fall actually were born in 2003. Let that sink in. :)
2012 - the communists are here, hunting me.
Ping
1966—Iran was an ally and Poland was an enemy
2021—Iran is an enemy and Poland is an ally
Actually you’d have to go back to 2020 for that. 2021 would show no change.
1966—Red meant Communist
2021—Red means Republican
1966: Lost my library card
2021: forget the library card, my mind has been gone since 1967...
2012 - the communists are here, hunting me. and there it is...
Better: Anyone born in the 20th century can order a beer.
Yeah Gen Z doesn’t drink. They smoke MJ
