I was commenting back and forth with some friends on Facebook the other day about how we're feeling older. That got me to thinking about the current batch of high school seniors this fall...
High school seniors for 2009 were mostly born in 1992... They were born after Metallica's black album was released, were infants when Kurt Cobain killed himself, and Prince was a symbol until they were 8. The Milli-Vanilli lip-sync scandal and the Gulf War both happened before they were born. The Soviet Union has never existed for them. They were born after the Rodney King beatings and were either born after, or were newborns during the LA Riots. They were toddlers during the whole OJ Simpson murder case. They're younger than the Linux operating system, the world wide web, web browsers, the Hubble telescope, and carbon nanotubes. The Challenger blew up 6 years before they were born (and they were only 11 when the Columbia broke up). The CD was introduced 10 years before they were born.
Now doesn't that make you feel old...
