- The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1980
-
They have no meaningful recollection of the Reagan era.
-
They were prepubescent when the Persian Gulf War was waged.
-
Black Monday 1985 is as significant to them as the GreatDepression.
-
Their lifetime always included AIDS.
-
Atari predates them, as do vinyl albums.
-
The expression," you sound like a broken record" means nothing at all to them.
-
They may have heard of an 8-track, but probably never have seen one.
-
The digital disc was introduced when they were one year old.
-
As far as they know, stamps have always cost about 32 cents
-
They always had an answering machine.
-
Most have never seen a TV with only 13 channels
-
They were born the year the walkman was introduced.
-
They never took a swim and thought about jaws.
-
They never heard the term,"where's the beef?"
-
They don't know that "8-6-7-5-3-0-9" is Jenny's phone number.
Do you feel old now?
Remember, the people who don't know these things will be in college this year.
