Every year, Beloit College in Wisconsin posts its Mindset List, chronicling the “cultural touchstones that shape the lives of students entering college this fall” (and as Flavorwire pointed out, frightening everyone over the age of 25).

Once you get over the shock of realizing that the class of 2016 (born in 1994) has never known Kurt Cobain alive, here are a few of the book-related facts that made Beloit’s 75-point list:

• Despite being preferred urban gathering places, two-thirds of the independent bookstores in the United States have closed for good during their lifetimes.
• The Biblical sources of terms such as Forbidden Fruit, The writing on the wall, Good Samaritan, and The Promised Land are unknown to most of them.
• Their folks have never gazed with pride on a new set of bound encyclopedias on the bookshelf.
• Before they purchase an assigned textbook, they will investigate whether it is available for rent or purchase as an e-book.
• They have always enjoyed school and summer camp memories with a digital yearbook.
