While I know there are certain things that younger people are not as intimately familiar with, I have to laugh when my good-natured, perhaps slightly batty (though I am really starting to like her) professor asks "Do you know who so-and-so is?" What seems like such a gimme to me (I remember phones with curly wires, John Lennon, Bob Dylan when he was younger, fall of the Berlin Wall, the first war in Iraq, Seinfeld)... I've discovered that a lot of 18 - 21 year olds just don't know.
