*The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1990.
*Their lifetime has always included AIDS.
*Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.
*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, 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.
