The people who are starting college this fall were born in 1990.
They have no meaningful recollection of the Reagan Era and do not know he had ever been shot.
They can only remember one president before George W. Bush.
They don't remember the space shuttle blowing up.
Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.
Atari predates them, as do vinyl albums and the Walkman.
The expression "you sound like a broken record" means nothing to them because they've never seen a record player.
They have likely never played Pac Man and have never heard of Pong.
They have always had voice mail.
Most of them have never seen a television set with only 13 channels, nor have they seen a black and white TV. They have always had cable.
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.
The Titanic was found? They thought we always knew where it was.
There has always been MTV.
They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter, and they certainly never used carbon paper.

I saw this list in a friend’s newsletter: Every year the staff at Beloit College in Wisconsin puts together a list to give the faculty a sense of the mindset of that year's incoming freshmen. Here is this year's list:
These folks are following Christ with us and will lead us in a few years. This past week 16 of our young adult leaders traveled to the Catalyst gathering in Atlanta and were a part of 11,000 young adults who came together to be trained, encouraged and empowered to move out in leadership in the life of the church. These are exciting times as a new generation steps forward to give leadership for the coming years. I feel the church will be in good hands with this generation. Can you imagine what Peter would have thought about a boat with a depth finder and a monitor that showed where fish are in the water? Yet every generation shares a common faith in Jesus and finds its strength and direction from prayer and obedience to the will of our Heavenly Father.

P.S. Pray for our revival and the speakers, Rev. Jim Jackson and Tom Toombs.
