Have you ever wondered how the world has changed around us from the past years? The Beloit mindset list tells you how everything has changed for us and what we find normal that older people do not. This list is a great example of the things we see and do on a daily basis that older folks would not have a clue what were doing or what it is.
My first example is the foreign cars. We, soon to come 2014 graduates, see foreign cars on a dialy basis. I actually drive a foreign car and when I go to family dinners or when I went to a game in high school, half the parents actually asked me what brand of car it was. I was surprised by how many older folks did not know what brand of car it was. It showed me that there have been changes for us.
My second example would be the cell phones. Every kid today has a cell phone, and if they lose it, they feel they have lost everything. A few years ago no body had cell phones. Only the rich people that wanted to be cool. Now cell phones are cheap and that is the main communication between people. I can't immagine how people got through the day without checking a phone for texts or even time. I haven't actually used a wall clock or alarm clock since I got a cell phone. I check everything on my cell phone.
My third example would have to be about Snoop Dogg always being a rapper. I listen to rap music and the only Snoop Dogd I know of has been a rapper. So im not sure where they were going with this one, but I know Snoop spits his rhymes and it sounds awesome. So yes Snoop Dogg has always been a rapper to me, a great one.
My last example would have to be the T.V. channels one. All i know is that I have had like hundreds of channels to watch and can never find one I like. I know in the old days they didn't have T.V., but if they did it was only around 4 channels. It sounds bad that we have hundreds of channels and still can not find something to watch.
I think you get the point that we as the graduating class of 2014 have lots of opportunities that the older folkds did not. It sounds like were spoiled but new technowledgy is coming out and everyone gets it. I hope everyone realizes what im getting across to them. It is that new generations are coming soon and everything is different.
