Old-Timers Reminisce As Beloit Freshmen Miss the World
A column by Lynn Brisendine reflects on aging and a Beloit College study of incoming freshmen born in 1983. The piece contrasts current youth with memories of the Reagan era, the Gulf War, the Soviet breakup, and technologies like Eight Track Tapes, vinyl records, Pac Man, Pong, and Betamax. It recalls classic brands, toys, and media shifts, noting how much has changed since younger generations never experienced black and white TV, a single-digit channel lineup, or typewriters. The author jokes about buying a Three Musketeers and seeking a turntable, while pondering the gap between eras.
