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 1994.
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 3 years before 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.”
"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.
Do you feel old
yet?
Pass this on to the
other old fogies on your list.
It is good to have
friends who know about these things
and are still alive
and kicking!!!

The “Y”
Chromosome
People born before 1946 are called : The Greatest Generation.
People
born between 1946 and 1964 are called: The Baby Boomers.
People
born between 1965 and 1979 are called: Generation X.
People born between 1980 and 2010 are called: Generation Y
Why do
we call the last group ~ Generation Y ?
Y
should I get a job?
Y
should I leave home and find my own place?
Y
should I get a car when I can borrow yours?
Y
should I clean my room?
Y
should I wash and iron my clothes?
Y
should I buy any food?
(All of the foregoing
was sent to me by a few of my ardent readers)
Words of Wisdom
“A cautious people
learns from its past;
A sensible people can
face the future;
Canadians, on the
whole, are both!”
