Who are these freshmen?

"Each August since 1998, Beloit College has released the Beloit College Mindset List. It provides a look at the cultural touchstones that shape the lives of students entering college. It is the creation of Beloit’s Keefer Professor of the Humanities Tom McBride and Emeritus Public Affairs Director Ron Nief.  It is used around the world as the school year begins, as a reminder of the rapidly changing frame of reference for this new generation. It is widely reprinted and the Mindset List website at http://www.beloit.edu/mindset/ receives more than 300,000 hits annually."

Particularly interesting to me are:

4. They have never used a card catalog to find a book.

14. Text has always been hyper.

26. Cable television systems have always offered telephone service and vice versa.

and 44. There have always been flat screen televisions.
