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 in 1985.

-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 the year 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", or "de plane 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? Notice the larger type, that's for those of you who have trouble reading.Save the earth. It's the only planet with chocolate.

I was doing one of two things in 1974. Pooping my dipers and eating from a bottle.
