I think we are getting old!
The people who entered the universities last year were born in 1988. For them there has been only one Pope who has lasted almost his entire life.
They never sang 'We are the World, we are the children', and when García Márquez won the Nobel they didn't even know how to read.
They were 3 years old when the Soviet Union disintegrated. They do not remember the Cold War and they know only one Germany, although at school they have been told that there were two.
They are too young to remember the explosion of the space shuttle 'Challenger' and will probably never know what the 'Pepsi Challenge' or the 'Pepsi Challenge' was.
For them, AIDS has been around their entire lives. They didn't get to play with the Atari.
The CD entered the market when they were not even one year old.
They never had a record player. They never played Pacman.
StarWars seems pretty fake to them, and the special effects seem pathetic.
Many of them do not know, or do not remember, that televisions only had 13 channels and a 'U', and they were switched with a knob; moreover, some have never even seen a black and white television, they cannot even explain what it is to watch TV without a remote control.
They were born six years after Sony put the Walkman on sale, for them the skates have always had in-line wheels and let's not talk about the normality with which they see a cell phone or a personal computer.
They may never have seen Sesame Street, The Treasure of Knowledge, Lost In Space, Topo Gigio or The Lone Ranger.
They never go swimming thinking 'Jaws'.
Michael Jackson has always been white. And how can they believe that Travolta could dance with that belly.
They never heard the following expressions: 'The plane, boss, the plane', or 'Grandpa, tell me you'. They don't remember who 'Wonder Woman' was.
They never used a metal lunch box.
They do not remember who was 'The Nuclear Man', 'The Bionic Woman', or 'the General of the Dukes of Hazard' (Hazard? ... what is that?).
They never heard or could say 'By the power of Greiscol', or 'Thunder, thunder, thunder cats oooooooohhhhhhhhh'.
They don't know who 'Tom Sawyer', 'Maya the bee', or 'Little Lulu' is.
They believe that 'The Love Cruise' leaves Miami loaded with honeymooners. That 'Charlie's Angels' is a film 'premiere' and that when they are told about 'CHIPs' they will think of potatoes to accompany lunch.
Remember that all these people entered the University last year, they are young people now !!!!!
