I noticed the lack of minorities too, which was interesting/ filled my mind with questions. However, the general video/ rest of the information didn't shock me. It felt a little cliche w/ a message that b/c students are using more and more technology, they are not being fully educated. I agree, sometimes technology causes us to sidetrack/ can be detrimental .... However, the question I have has to do more with defining "education" and what it means to be "educated"/ what it means to have a professor standing in the front of a room with the power to give out information. or not. mmmh.

I liked it. Not sure why. Not enough time, is there, to relax and enjoy the scenery on the ride through life. All that webbing checking, e-mailing, TV watching, all that important shit. For me, never enough time to fix all the cats........I hope to stop and sniff the catnip more often. Nice video. I liked it. Not sure why.
