A Vision of Students Today

After watching Michael Wesch's video, A Vision of Students Today, I was shocked at the number of students that don’t take their college education seriously. The video displayed how many students, rather then get a good college education, play with technology or update their Facebook posts instead of taking valuable notes. It showed that many college students buy $1000 dollar textbooks that they never even open, and how some people pay $8,000 dollars for a class that they don’t show up to. This really bothers me, I think that they as learners should be there to get a valuable education that will allow them to help our country continue to progress forward with new jobs and research. This video really opens my eyes as to how much knowledge is really getting wasted becuase of technology.
