1989

Things that are ubiqitous today that either didn't exist or were VERY sparse in 1989, when I was a freshman in high school:

iPods (and their non-Apple counterparts)
iPhones (and their non-Apple counterparts)
iPads (you get the point)
cell phones
laptops
the internet
Google
Facebook
Twitter
hybrid cars
blue ray
blogs
texting
digital music and video
online shopping
online securities trading
video chat
INSTANT access to information

My schedule on the first day of school in 1989:
Freshman English
Geometry
Geography/Health
P.E.
Spanish 1
Woodshop

The schedule of a typical freshman who started high school this year, 2011:
Freshman English

P.E.
A foreign language
An elective

I'm not the only one who sees something wrong here, am I?
