The Class of 2010

August 25th, 2006 Stewart Posted in Uncategorized |

Beloit College’s Mindset list has been released for the new freshman class. It seems that every year this list becomes a little less inspired or interesting than it has been in previous outings. Still, there are several items I really like, that seem to distinguish this group from other Millennials:

*They have known only two presidents.
*They are wireless, yet always connected.
*DNA fingerprinting has always been admissible evidence in court.
*”Google” has always been a verb.
*Text messaging is their email.
*Bar codes have always been on everything, from library cards and snail mail to retail items.
*Being techno-savvy has always been inversely proportional to age.
*They have always preferred going out in groups as opposed to dating.

What’s your favorite bullet this year? Take a look at the whole list and post a comment below.
