Factoids of the 90’s: Minimum wage was  $5.15/hr, population was 281,421,906 and the average salary was $13.37/hr.  The ‘90s were truly the electronic age with the birth of the World Wide Web, cell phones, online books, and CD burners.  Students could complete their education without coming on campus, through Distance Education Programs. Fads included Tae-bo, in-line skates, beanie babies, Furby, Tickle Me Elmo, WWJD, Yo-yos, and tattoos and body piercing.
