Feeling Old:
The people starting college now were born in 1981. They have no
meaningful recollection of the Reagan era, and do not know he had ever
been shot.
They were prepubescent when the Persian Gulf War was waged. Black Monday 1987 is as significant to them as the Great Depression.
There has only been one Pope. They can only really remember one
president.
They were 10 when the Soviet Union broke apart, and do not remember the Cold War.
They have never feared a nuclear war. "The Day After" is a pill to them, not a movie.
CCCP is just a bunch of letters.
They have only known one Germany.
They are too young to remember the Space shuttle blowing up, and Tian An Men Square means nothing to them.
They do not know who Moammar Qadafi is.
Their lifetime has always included AIDS.
They never had a polio shot, and likely do not know what it is.
Bottle caps have not only always been screw off, but have always been plastic.
They have no idea what a pull-top can looks like.
Atari predates them, as do vinyl albums.
They have never owned a record player - so the expression "you sound like a broken record" means nothing to them.
They have likely never played Pac Man, and have never even heard of Pong.
The original Star Wars looks very fake and the special effects are pathetic.
There have always been red M&Ms, and blue ones are not new.
They may be aware of the existence of 8-tracks, but chances are they probably have never actually seen or heard one.
The Compact Disc was introduced when they were born.
They have always had an answering machine.
Most have never 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.
They were born after the Walkman was introduced by Sony.
Rollerskating has always meant inline for them.
They have no idea when or why Jordache jeans were cool.
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 WWI, WWII, or even the Civil War.
They have no idea that Americans were ever held hostage in Iran.
They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.
They don't know who Mork is or where he was from.
They do not care who shot J.R. and have no idea who J.R. is, for that
matter.
The Titanic was found? I thought we always knew where it was.
Kansas, Chicago, Boston, America, and Alabama are places, not groups.
McDonald's food never came in Styrofoam containers.

i feel old and i'm 17!!!! i do remember about the berlin wall like when i was 4 years old or somethin cuz i remember getting mad at the tv because i didn't know why they were tearing the wall down and i wanted 2 send the people to pluto. i remember the day of atari and the original nintendo where me and my cousin ronnie would play excitebike and super mario bros./duck hunt all day. i was the only kid who knew about the Ferrari Testarossa and the Lamborghini Countach 25th anniversary edition on my block. i was living in the days of teenage mutant ninja turtles and g.i. joe. i remember back when pop-tarts didn't have the frosting on top of them. and when cable tv was out in my town, i remember waking up mad early to watch mr. wizard on nickelodeon. i do know about vinyloids cuz we had a record player on the stereo. i remember about the styrofoam containers at mickey-d's cuz i grew up on that when i was a kid....go figure:rolleyes:
