"A Vision of Students Today"

In the short video “A Vision of Students Today” made by the Anthropology professor, Michael Wesch (from Kansas State University) and his students, they don’t necessarily talk but show their opinions and statistics through paper. By presenting it this way (in silence) it gives the short film a creepy almost depressing vibe not only because the students are mute but because of what’s written on the paper and claimed to be true. Such as “completing 49% of the readings assigned but only 26% is relevant” or “reading 8 books a year but reading 2,300 web pages and 1,281 Facebook profiles. Pretty much proving that we associate technology with class too much, and this is affecting the way we learn dramatically. I think they’re bored with how they’re being taught and want an upgrade but will this upgrade really help, or be another distraction?
