You realize you are growing up when… you see ads on facebook for Motorola Q, iPods, and Mac notebooks and realize the new generation of college students is on a whole new level of technology revolution.
Remember back in college when we used to take class notes on notebooks? When we used to buy paper calendars to write out our exam date? When we used to take walkmans or cd players (for the tech savvy) with us at the gym? And remember when having a computer desktop in your dorm room was a luxury? Those days are long gone my friends!
I’ve just come to realize that after being out of the college scene for nearly 5 years, a lot has changed. Now mind you that a lot changed during the 7.5 years I lived on campus, while I was in college and graduate school in the late 90’s. Now it has changed even more.
These days students are using the Motorola Q for texting, talking, and planning. The iPod has replaced the walkman. And notebooks mean something completely different. Having a laptop is now a necessity (it was only started to become required when I got my MBA in 2001). It seems now that many classes are requiring students to have their own laptop notebooks. My how times have changed!
Finally, after 30 years, I understand how my mom felt when I started using a walkman, bought a cd player, and brought home a DVD player. I wonder what is next? Thumbprint and retinal scanners? Ohh wait…
