Well, I am teaching a course this fall to about 17 undergraduates, mostly sophomores and juniors, and they did pretty well on the first exam. I asked them if they had seen President Obama on the Letterman show and only a few did. Television may disappear – we are not there yet – it’s still a few years away. It will be interesting to see how all this evolves with technology. These students are leaving their footprints everywhere.
One day I said something about an Etch-a-Sketch and the students just looked at me, and then someone said it is now called a Magna Doodle. I enjoy having older students in the classroom. They have a slightly different perspective, and they get my jokes.
