Class Videos

Watching the videos on YouTube made me wish I was back in school (but not as a 50 year old!). To be young and have the opportunity to learn and use new technology and also study the impact this technology has on our culture is very appealing to me. As a college student, I used IBM punch cards to enter data about chert chips and it is mind-boggling to think of all the changes since then.

Felt sorry for you; you had no comments. I found something I can do. I'm scared to move on.

While there is a lot of technology the students are able to use for their classes, I also wonder how the stress level has risen. You almost have to be born multitasking but then do you really learn anything if you spread yourself so thin? Also, it seems like everyone is ADD and no one has the level of concentration any more to really focus on any one particular project. And I am horribly bad at catching myself doing numerous things at once but at least I have had the opportunity to do one thing and one thing only until the task was done.
But I agree with you, I think it would be quite fun to be a student now, but only if I could be able to afford all the electronics everyone seems to have!
