What is a student of today?

In Michael Wesch’s Video “A Vision of Students Today” shows what it is like to be a student in today’s world. The students in this video edited a document 367 times and answered the questions themselves.


In the video students made a document and surveyed themselves on it. That brought us the information. The video goes through telling us how long they are on the internet, or how long they sleep. You are probably thinking why does this matter? This matters because that shows us how different technology is. Students bring their laptops to school but when are they actually doing real school work? Back in the early 1900 or even the early 1970s classes weren’t as big as 115 students, and the teachers new most of the students names. The video says that 1 billion people make less than 1$ a day. Imagine how much more business owners make a day? Do we really spend 3 ½ hours on the internet each day, or study for 3 hours? Does a laptop really cost more than some people make in a year? Can technology really save us? These questions have a purpose it gets u thinking about how long we do things.

Are problems that have nothing to do with us, really our problems? “The inventor of the system deserves to be ranked among the best contributors to learning and science, if not the greatest benefactors of mankind.”- Josiah F. Bumstead. Is this really what we do in life?
