Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things.
The people who are leaving school this
year were born in 1992....Shocked?
They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.
Their lifetime has always included AIDS.
Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.
The CD was introduced the 3 years before they were born.
They have always had an answering machine.
They have always had Sky.
They cannot fathom not having a remote control.
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 do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is.
They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.
Hi Debs,
Sorry if I am hijacking your thread but....... Anyone remember the Moody Blues, on the "Threshold of a dream"
Moody Blues In The Beginning lyrics
First Man: I think, I think I am, therefore I am, I think.
Establishment: Of course you are my bright little star,
I've miles
And miles
Of files
Pretty files of your forefather's fruit
and now to suit our
great computer,
You're magnetic ink. First Man: I'm more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be.
Inner Man: There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles
And piles
Of trials
With smiles.
It riles them to believe
that you perceive
the web they weave
And keep on thinking free.
Moody Blues In The Beginning lyrics
I find it amazing that these guys thought of this way back in 1969, it seems so relevant today.
Rock On,
