Feeling Your Age
Most of the people who started university this year were born in 1983.
They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.
They do not remember Australia winning the America's Cup.
They do not know who Moammar Gaddafi is.
Their lifetime has always included AIDS.
They have never had a polio shot and are not likely to know what it is.
Soft-drink bottle caps have not only always been screw-off, but they have also always been plastic.
The expression 'You sound like a broken record' means nothing to them.
They have never owned a record player.(unless they are a DJ)
Star Wars (the original) looks very fake to them and the special effects pathetic.
The compact disc was introduced before they had turned one.
As far as they know, stamps have always cost about 40 cents.
They have always had an answering machine.
Most have never seen a TV set with only two channels, nor have they seen a black-and-white TV.
There have always been VCRs, but they have no idea what Beta is.
They cannot fathom not having a remote control.
Popcorn has always been cooked in a microwave.
They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.
The Vietnam War is as ancient history to them as World War 11 or even World War I.
They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.
They do not care who shot J.R. and have no idea who J.R. is.
The Titanic was found. They didn't know it was lost.
Michael Jackson has always been white.
McDonalds never came in Styrofoam containers.
Do you feel old now? Remember that the people who don't know these things are at university now and get to vote knowledgeably about your future.
