I chose this You Tube video because it quickly highlights several things I mentioned in my previous post. In particular I like how the video starts with the sounds of a dial up modem connecting to the internet. It makes me wonder how many millennial's will remember this sound by the time they graduate due to the increased reliance on wireless and high speed internet connections?
The video also bring into to mind some of the things I didn't mention. I suppose this is due to my advanced age after all I am almost 40! :) (note the primitive use of emoticons! Actually, that is the only one I am able to successfully replicate on a regular basis)
I did have a bear of a time locating an appropriate video to attach. I was hoping to find an episode of the Simpsons titled "Homerpalooza" in which Homer joins one of the big social things of the early nineties, Lalapalooza. Unfortunately, this could not happen. I then typed in "Gen X college students" and while some were okay, as I perused the video selections, I found some very inappropriate videos. I couldn't figure out how they appeared in my search until I thought a bit more about my search term, then it dawned on me.
I suppose this will be another growth opportunity for me!
Due to my lack of prior success, I typed in the search term "Millennial college students" and came across this video.

When I was in high school I used an Apple II and II+ for computer science and we learned Basic as well. My Dad is still pissed he spent a boatload of money on a TRS-80 Model 4 computer that sat in the basement because we had no idea how to use it!
