Time Warp

Beloit College publishes a list each year of things that make the freshmen class unique. Some of the differences in perceptions of the world are quite remarkable. For freshmen entering college this year:

• The Soviet Union has never existed
• There has always been only one Germany
• DNA has always been admissible in court
• Google has always been a verb
• Bar codes have always been on everything
• Madden has always been a game, not a Super Bowl winning coach
• Reality shows have always been on television
• They have always been searching for "Waldo"
• Television stations have never ended the broadcast day playing the national anthem
• Professional athletes have always competed in the Olympics
