Every year Beloit College publishes its "Mindset List," in which it details the things that its incoming class of students take for granted, given their age:

For example: # The Green Giant has always been Shrek, not the big guy picking vegetables. # They have never used a card catalog to find a book. # Margaret Thatcher has always been a former prime minister. # Salsa has always outsold ketchup. # Earvin "Magic" Johnson has always been HIV-positive. # Tattoos have always been very chic and highly visible. # They have been preparing for the arrival of HDTV all their lives. # Rap music has always been main stream.
