redfirecrackerYesterday, I had to explain to a student exactly what is microfilm.
She had NO IDEA.
And finally, when I said, "It's how they used to archive things before the Internet," she said with complete seriousness, "But the Internet's always been there."
I had to walk away before my head exploded.
To add insult to injury, she was the second person with whom I'd had that discussion yesterday morning.
SERIOUSLY.
I AM FOSSILIZING BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES.
