The Mindset of the Class of 2029

theodp writes "In response to Beloit College's 10th Annual Mindset List, which takes a stab at describing the worldview of the incoming Class of 2011 (grew up with bottled water; have always had the World Wide Web), Valleywag's Nick Douglas presages The Mindset of the Class of 2029 (have always been able to use a cell phone on a plane; 'Lord of the Rings' looks fake and the effects are laughable)."

I just hope they learn to socialize somewhere other than in front of a computer screen.

Don't worry, they definitely know how to do that. You're in the minority caring about something like music; most teenagers spend their time talking about nothing with each other, and necking. They listen to the crap on the radio, and they LIKE IT because they know nothing else and don't care.
