Visions of Students Today

Michael Wesch's argument is that the world is in trouble and education is not helping. To deal with world issues, many turn to technology, while others send their sons and daughters to college. But technology is used for social aspects instead of work and college does not prepare students for real life. Students know this and so use technology to escape from class while sitting in it. Education has changed from the 19th century. Instead of books, there are laptops that cost more than some people; instead of doing, there is sitting; instead of knowledge, students leave with debt.
