The Class Of 2011

Via Boing Boing, I heard about the annual Beloit College Mindset. This is a list of tips they give to their professors, about the mindset of the incoming freshmen... Its filled with tons of stuff to make you giggle and feel old... some of my favorites:

  • What Berlin wall?
  • They never “rolled down” a car window.
  • They never saw Johnny Carson live on television.
  • General Motors has always been working on an electric car.
  • They get much more information from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert than from the newspaper.
  • MTV has never featured music videos.
  • Most phone calls have never been private.

That last one reminded me of an older post of mine: Take My Privacy, Please, about how kids these days don't care one bit about privacy. Cell phones and reality TV have made voyeurism mainstream... and they don't see the down side.

Feel old, yet?
