Students Today

I had some of the same feelings back in the mid 80's. Obviously, not so much with the online stuff. I think I got my first dial up account in '87, but even before FaceBook (BFB?) there was the feeling that a lot of the lecture hall style of teaching was losing effectiveness. Where some of your TAs didn't know your name much less your professors. I can't imagine reading 1200 FaceBook profiles... I got up to 666 MySpace "friends" for a while, but have mostly limited FB to people I know in some capacity BFB. I wouldn't want to be on the phone for 2 hours a week, much less on my cell phone 2 hours a day. (I still blame my years of phone support for MS and Fidelity for my phone phobia).

I've thought about taking a class online, but not very hard.
