    Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things..

    The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1987.

    They are too young to remember the first space shuttle blowing up on liftoff.

    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.
    Notice the larger type, that's for those of you who have trouble reading...

    you forgot things like

    "the Beatles"they'll never make it"

    real TV dinners

    Drive -ins

    when a dollar got you a burger,fries&soda&change back

    8-track players(damn big boom boxes back then)

    when Santa showed the day after Thanksgiving not before Halloween

    when you went to a school dance with parents as an escort(now you need a police escort)

    times do a change but the more things change the more they stay the same

    "real TV dinners"

    Original TV dinner came in stamped aluminum tray, which wouldn't work in today's microwave ovens.
    Where did everyone go????
