Class of 2010!
Is it just me or is everyone starting to feel really really old?
Every year, a US University releases a list of things which define the age of it’s new entrants.
Members of the class of 2010, entering college around about now in the US, were mostly born in 1988. For them: John Lennon, Elvis, Lucille Ball, and Andy Gibb have always been dead.
Also for them….
1. The Soviet Union has never existed and therefore is about as scary as the student union.
2. There has always been only one Germany.
3. They have never heard anyone actually "ring it up" on a cash register.
4. Thanks to headphones in the back seat, parents have always been able to speak freely in the front.
5. A coffee has always taken longer to make than a milkshake.
6. Smoking has never been permitted on airlines.
7. They grew up with and have outgrown faxing as a means of communication.
8. "Google" has always been a verb.
9. Professional athletes have always competed in the Olympics
10. They have never even seen a Carbon copier – let alone smelt the ink in the office of the school secretary
11. Reality shows have always been on television.
12 They have rarely mailed anything using a stamp.
13. Brides have always worn white for a first, second, or third wedding.
14. They have always been able to watch wars and revolutions live on television.
15. They are not aware that "flock of seagulls hair" has nothing to do with birds flying into it.
16 There have always been live organ donors.
17. They have always had access to their own credit cards.
18. Disneyland has always been in Europe and Asia.
19. Television stations have never concluded the broadcast day with the national anthem.
20. They’ve never been sent to bed by fat cat
21. Disposable contact lenses have always been available.
22. They grew up with virtual pets.
23. Ringo Starr has always been clean and sober.
