Are you feeling old? If not, consider this: 

The people who are starting university this year across the nation were born in 1980. 
They have no meaningful recollection of the Hawke era. 
They were prepubescent when the Persian Gulf War was waged. 
Black Monday 1987 is as significant to them as the Great Depression. 

Their lifetime has always included AIDS. 

Atari predates them, as do vinyl albums. 

The movie Grease was released three years before their birth....so was Star Wars ... 

The expression "You sound like a broken record" means nothing to them. 

They may have heard of an 8-track, but chances are they probably have never actually seen or heard
one. 

John Lennon was shot the year they were born - so forget about them knowing the words to
Yesterday .. 

The digital disc was introduced when they were one year old. 

As far as they know, stamps have always cost about 45 cents. 

They have always had an answering machine. 

Most have never seen a TV set without a VCR attached 

They were born the year that Walkmen were introduced by Sony. 

They never took a swim and thought about Jaws. 

They don't know that "8-6-7-5-3-0-9" is Jenny's phone number. 

They don't know who Mork was or where he was from. 

They never heard the term "ooohh cool as ice !!!". 

Do you feel old now?
