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
1987.

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.​

 

Ehhhh.....What was that you said deary??

 

Apprx 1982 : I remember my parents buying our first VCR, and it cost $750. It was a big bulky machice.


2005 : My kids got a portable DVD player that is 20cm x 20cm. Great clarity for the picture and a remote (with no wires) and my wife got it for a blue light christmas special for $80.

I can't even phathom what my grandkids will be playing with.

 

I don't even know how to work our DVD player.....but, the kids do http://img116.exs.cx/img116/934/z0tdntknw.gif

 

Do what I do...hope it auto starts!!

 

...or just wait til the kids are home.

 

Trust me..its already getting pretty bad around here. Nina turned 8 on Tuesday, and I was at work, and her Aunt and Grandmother were coming down. I called from work and asked how things were and what she got. She got a new GameCube game. I asked if I could play it with her. Her response "It's too complicated for you Dad"

I have you know that I bought a new headphone and microphone set today, and I hooked it up all by myself. Headphone jack in the plug with the headphone picture and microphone jack into the microphone picture jack. I'm ready to take my Mensa test

 

mikel108, are you sure it was a VCR. We had something back then called a BetaMax tape player. Looked like todays VCR but the tapes were quite something different!

I'm with you though! Those are quite some places, we rarely got to go places like that when we were kids.

 

No, it was a Panasonic VCR. It was right when Beta and VCR were going head to head, and Beta was just starting to slip.

Guess they should never have called it a Beta

 

You mean they had places like that when you were a kid?

 

Hi sis
love all your pics--there just great!I really enjoy them!
keep em coming
love ya

 

Not quite like that, but fun places.

 

LOL, same here, mikel !
Except I can't remember the prizes.

Oh, how I miss thee eighties. You got excited about new stuff.

You two couldn't come up with a better Idea !!!
