Beloit Mindset

One I personally know how to write in cursive granted it could probably use a little bit of a touch up on it as I am sure most of my fellow 2014 peers will agree with. Also I think think the people who wrote this think our generation is mentally dead so to speak. Honestly does this not irritate you at all when they categorize us under such statements as "Adhesive strips have always been available in varying skin tones." I don't know about you, my fellow peers, but I personally don't think so narrowly.

I don't think that cd-roms have always existed in computers nor do I think children try to make their parents divorce all the time. For that matter I don't know about half that stuff on the list, granted I am not as prone to the video media as most of young adults my age. So I could be an exception to this list I suppose. But even saying that I feel like were being portrayed as childish and naive, which is most definitely not the case for most of us.

Then again I might be missing the entire point to this whole entire "Beloit Mindset" thing. Maybe its suppose to have comical appeal. Certainly some of the things are ridiculous enough to warrant a laugh or two. But it still seems like this mindset is suppose to somehow demean us in some way.

I leave you with that thought in mind my fellow bloggers. I pose to you this question "Are we really as naive as this Beloit Mindset makes us seem???" I await to hear your answers.

p.s. I hope I did a good job writing like a blogger would lol because I sounded kind of pompous if you ask me... but shhhh
