Michael Wesch: A Vision of Students Today

I really believe that our college system is exactly whats on this video Students rely on the Internet so much, its almost like they are addicted to it. Some students pointed out that students look at facebook, myspace, and emails while they are in the classroom and I can 100% agree that I see this all the time in our classrooms today. They aren't at all focused on what the professor is saying they are more worried about whose looking at their profile on facebook or myspace. But then you have to ask the question on why are these students no listening? Some students can't focuse on the teacher because all they are doing is reading right of the power point and not trying to catch your attention at all. They want you in and out of their classroom.

Some students find that some classes are a waste of money and time because they have nothing to do with their major. We have to take so many classes before we actually get into our actual major. Why is this?All they want is our money, and to make it as hard as possible for us cause they think we don't have lives outside of school.

As far as adding anything to Mr. Wesch's video, I don't see what else to add. This video really shows students of today, especially us younger generation. We should really take a step back and look at it all. I agree with him and the students and think that we all should maybe do something about it.

  1. Great job Tiffany on the weblink. Please proof read. Several sentences do not make since. For example, second paragraph, I believe you meant to say "it", but the sentence just has "t". ;)
