Feeling Old? Let me help...

The people who are starting college this fall were born in 1990-1991.

  • They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.
  • Their lifetime has always included AIDS.
  • The CD was introduced two years before they were born.
  • They have always had an answering machine.
  • They have always had cable…and satellite...and cell phones.
  • Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.
  • Popcorn has always been made in a microwave.
  • They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.
  • They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.
  • They’ve never heard: 'Where's the Beef?', 'I'd walk a mile for a Camel ', or 'de plane Boss, de plane'.
  • McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.
  • They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.
Feeling old now? :-)

Yep, even though I was born 6 years before that group. So there are some things that even I don't remember
