- The class of 2012 has grown up in an era where computers and rapid communication are the norm,

- Will continue to use their cell phones and communicate via texting.
- Roommates, few of whom have ever shared a bedroom, have already checked out each other on Facebook where they have shared their most personal thoughts with the whole world.
- GPS satellite navigation systems have always been available.
- WWW has never stood for World Wide Wrestling.
- They may have been given a Nintendo Game Boy to play with in the crib.
- Windows 3.0 operating system made IBM PCs user-friendly the year they were born.
