Of course there is no formula for success except perhaps an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings.

This is a great post. I think about this kind of thing almost weekly. Although I am not even 30 yet, I work with younger students and see how different their experiences theirs were compared to mine. I had dial up internet in my dorm room, where I may or may not have remained connected all night to download songs. I also had a cell phone plan that had 90 minutes a month…no free nights or weekends, and texting wasn’t even invented yet. Kids these days!

I totally remember using my unix login on my college computer, and do you all remember LOGO? that weird triangle that they called a turtle? you would give it random commands and it would move? Now you can just touch a screen. Crazy .-= lauren´s last blog ..Blog Share =-.

Oooh, ooh: an addition

Back in my day VH1 and MTV actually played Music Videos and had very little to no “real” programming.

Or!

Fast food joints had full menus not just value meal plans

I could have so much fun with this.

SO TRUE! to do a research paper, we had to use a card catelogue to find potential books, which we then had to search through for pertinent passages. (although to be fair, google searching / online research actually seems like a VAST improvement) .-= Alice´s last blog ..handwritten: you may or may not be able to read this post =-.

Microfiche! Ha!! That’s a throwback. I would venture to say that most early 30somethings DO NOT remember microfiche. That would be reserved for the library lovers and nerds among us!

I took a class in college on how to use the library. And, I spent HOURS there.

I’m 41 and say “back in the day” all the time! The cell phone one cracked me up! My first mobile phone came in a big box thing that sat in the floorboard of my car, had a cord connecting it to the box, and had to be plugged into my cigarette lighter. Geez, I’m old.
