Beloit College releases Mindset List

WCLO's Beth Wheelock reports on the annual list that shows the world view of college freshmen.

Although the Beloit College website says the annual Mindset List isn't designed to make you feel old, it is slightly disheartening to see that for the incoming class of 2012 phones have always had caller ID.

The Mindset List isn't chronological, but intended to provide a frame of reference for those students born in 1990. Public Affairs Director Ron Nief says the class is used to everything being recycled and technology doesn't impress them anymore. Others on the list: They have always been looking for Carmen Sandiego, electronic filing of tax returns has always been an option, and authorities have always been building a wall across the Mexican border.
