This video “A Vision of Students Today” by Michael Wasch, is about how college students see themselves in their educational careers. It is presented in a shaky point of view that makes the user follow the dialog on notecards that the students hold up. The students view themselves from their own point of view as well as the point of view of other people around the world. They show signs that show themselves in shallow ways, such as “I spend hundreds of dollars on books that I never open,” and “I spend much of my class time on Facebook.” The way that they show humility is signs that say “This laptop cost more than 1 billion people will make in a year,” and “more than a billion people make less than a dollar a day.” But the exact message that they are trying to get across is elusive. I don’t know if they are calling themselves shallow or the schools. The whole thing is covered by eerie music that just adds to the drama. Maybe someone else will have better insight as to what the main idea is, because I am still confused.
