Anytime I Want to Feel Old...
I can look at the Beloit College Mindset List. The report, compiled annually by the college's office of public affairs gives a glance into the political and cultural mind of the latest round of college freshmen. A few highlights from the class of 2011:Humvees, minus the artillery, have always been available to the public.
They never “rolled down” a car window.
Stadiums, rock tours and sporting events have always had corporate names.
American rock groups have always appeared in Moscow.
Tiananmen Square is a 2008 Olympics venue, not the scene of a massacre.
The space program has never really caught their attention except in disasters.
They get much more information from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert than from the newspaper.
I guess I am now officially a part of another generation...
