this will

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
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..
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.
.
Mc
Donald's never
came in
Styrofoam
containers.
They don't
have a clue
how to use a
typewriter.
