200 Students made 367 edits to this document,
and surveyed themselves,
to bring you the following message:
My average class size is 115.
18% of my teachers know my name
I complete 49% of the readings assigned to me.
Only 26% … relative to my life
I buy hundred dollar textbooks that I never open.
My neighbor paid for class but never comes.
I will read 8 books this year
2300 web pages
and 1281 facebook profiles
I will write 42 pages for class this semester
And over 500 pages of email
I get 7 hours of sleep each night
I spend 1 ½ hours watching TV each night.
I spend 3 ½ hours a day online
I listen to music 2.5 hours a day
I spend 2 hours on my cellphone
3 hours in class
2 hours eating
I work 3 hours every day
2 hours studying
That's a total of 26.5 hours.
I'm a multitasker.
I have to be.
I will be over 20,000 in debt after graduation.
I'm one of the lucky ones.
Over 1 billion people
Make less than one dollar a day
This laptop costs more than some people in the world make in a year.
When I graduate I will probably have a job
That doesn't exist today
(showing scantron) Filling this out won't help me get there. Or deal with…
war, inequality, ethnic conflict, pollution, (and many more)
I did not create the problems
But they are my problems
Some have suggested that technology can save us…
(alone)
I Facebook through most of my classes.
I bring my laptop to class but I'm not working on class stuff.
"The inventor of the system deserves to be ranked among the best contributors
