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 1986. 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?
March 6, 200619 yr I remember 2 days in particular in '74. My sister was born and I stayed with my favorite aunt she was my favorite because at 6 yrs old i was as tall as her . I also remember a very cold April 8th in '74 was at the braves game we just got lucky we thought Hammerin Hank would have already had his day with Babe's record. It was quite overwhelming to be honest by the time he hit the homerun I was pretty wore out and got startled when he did it cause everyone an i mean everyone jumped up and screamed. On the 11 o'clock news they said the stadium could be heard from over 6 miles away. Just figured I'd share a day in my history
