I thought it was an interesting video. The main point, from what I can tell, is that the education system or the process used in the education system is out of date. I think it also shows that technology has changed the way students spend their time. Forty years ago a video like this could have been made and a lot of what they wrote on their notes would be different, but it would still include the same basic message. Books are expensive and not even used much, time spent doing other things outweighs time spent with school things, and so on and so forth. What I think should have been included was the fact the universities/colleges are businesses and businesses focus on making money. What you do after you spend your money is not usually a big concern of any business, as long as there will be more that spend money in the same way.
I really didn’t like the break down and add up of the hours used through a day. I am sure that all those people didn’t do only one task at a time. I know the next person said that they were a “multi-tasker”, but it is still retarded. Listening to music while doing homework is not multi-tasking; eating while you watch TV is not multi tasking; spending time on the internet while in class… maybe that is actually multi-tasking.
In the long run, though, you get out of school what you put in. If you don’t read the assignments, that’s a little less that you are learning. College classes aren’t really meant to educate you for the real world; some are general education, others are specific to an area.
The more I think about this video, the more I dislike it; it seems like nothing but complaints from a bunch of slackers.
For those of you that come upon this by chance; I have to make this blog for my English Comp. class. Not that I'm complaining, but that will explain the context of the blog.
