THINGS WE NEVER WORRIED ABOUT
IBM has never made typewriters. Mocha has always been a flavor of coffee. There have always been charter schools. You never had to roll down a car window. Bottled water has always existed. The Rolling Stones have always been
geriatrics.
BELOIT COLLEGE MINDSET LIST
There has always been an Internet ramp onto the information highway. They “swipe” cards, not merchandise. As they've grown up on websites and cell
phones, adult experts have constantly fretted about their alleged deficits of empathy and concentration. Their school’s “blackboards” have always been
getting smarter.
BELOIT COLLEGE MINDSET LIST ( P T 2 )
Dial-up is soooooooooo last century! Music has always been available via free
downloads. They've often broken up with their significant
others via texting, Facebook, or MySpace. They won't go near a retailer that lacks a
website. They've always had the privilege of talking
with a chatterbot.
