The people who are starting college this fall ....

Kids starting college this Fall were born in 1988 ..

  • They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.
  • Their lifetime has always included AIDS.
  • The CD was introduced a year before they were born.
  • They have always had an answering machine
  • They have always had cable.
  • Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.
  • Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.
  • They never heard the chant "Lynch Carter Now!".
  • They never took a swim and thought about Jaws!
  • They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.
  • The first President they remember is Bill Clinton!
  • They 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

Quick answer is this; I'm one of the people you're talking about, sorry to say :-(

I bought my first CDs and player in 1983. I believe that they were introduced in Europe the year before.
