their phone? I can sympathize with them. After all, I have several close friends, whom I call often, even though I have no clue what their phone numbers are. I just type in their name and hit call. Fortunately, even if grudgingly, they will commit frequencies, block diagrams and other things to memory. Later, when lying on their back staring up behind an instrument panel, they can be glad they don’t have to dig for their phone to get the information necessary to complete a task. They can grab their phone later and send me a thank-you text. Even Avionics News magazine

predates my era. When Avionics News debuted in November 1963, college freshmen experienced John F. Kennedy’s assassination and the beginning of Beatlemania. They witnessed the death of the Studebaker and the birth of democracy in South Korea. They listened to Martin Luther King’s most famous speech. During that year, NASA flew an X-15 into space, and the first Jet Commander flew. Students used slide rules to calculate decibels and make conversions. AT&T introduced dualtone multi-frequency phones, and Edward Craven Walker introduced the lava lamp. It was the year State Mutual Life Insurance invented the popular smiley face. By the time I was a freshman, Jet

Commanders were already old. We had been to the moon and back, and disco was beginning to die. Before I showed up on campus, I ditched my slide rule and purchased a cool new TI-56, which I wore on my belt. Just prior to my matriculation, our school purchased a first-generation digital area navigation system. My professor was scared of it. The Harrier flew for the first time, and the F-102 was retired. Tubes were on their way out, and microprocessors were on their way in. I am very close to two generations removed from my students. We don’t have a generation gap, we have a generation canyon. Studying the Mindset List helps me bridge the gap, because I am just sooo last millennium. q
