It’s a widespread assumption that anyone born in, or before, the 50’s or early 60’s cannot even fathom the grandeur of modern technology. Texting, tweeting, tumblr-ing, instagraming, it all seems lost on their aged minds. However this stereotype is perhaps less influenced by reality, and more a reflection of how a younger generation wishes to preserve their childhood.

I believe I was in the sixth grade when I heard my first “that’s what she said” joke. At the time it didn’t make much sense, a cluster of innocent words made hilarious by a simple phrase. By seventh grade I was fully aware of the “top secret” meaning, and by eighth grade it became (shamefully) as much a part of my vernacular as “like” or “Facebook.” Though the joke has somewhat faded from funniness over the years, at least for most high schoolers, the real purpose of it lingers everywhere students go.
