Collegiates of Today

18 October 2007 147 views One Comment

I ran across this picture today and was just shocked … for two reasons:

Collegiates and their Macs

One – Look at all the Macs! I guess I see now why the AAPL stocks are going higher and higher every day. What you can’t see in this picture is probably all the iPhones and iPods in people’s pockets.

Two – How in the world do you listen to a prof when you are staring at your computer screen? Or better yet, how in the world does the prof feel like he’s connecting to his students if all he sees are lit-up Apple logos. (Random thought: It would be cool to turn off the lights and see Apples as like stars!).

All I know is that if on Sunday morning, people busted out their laptops and I was preaching to the back of people’s computers, I would either pull the plug on the internet, or IM my sermon to them. The other thing is, if there was wirelesss internet, IM, Facebook, and blogs when I was in college, I would have NEVER graduated!

Well, along with pic, came across this video that a professor made with his class to show the “Vision of Students Today.” It’s pretty telling of our world today.

    I had the same reaction when I first saw that picture.. it’s mind-boggling. As for the professor aspect, I think that was an intro to journalism class and they were required to have laptops with them to follow along.
