Students' Lives Today

In Michael Wesch’s “A Vision of Students Today” it shows how technology and the issues in the world are changing the lives of students Today. Most adults and teachers don’t even look into there lives and see what is going on. Some of the statements shocked me into reality and I am even apart of it.

 There was a multitude of items off of the lists that I believe should be brought to the attention of my fellow piers. One of the first things that I noticed was that one student claimed only 18 percent of her teachers knew her. That is horrifying to think that they don’t even know their name over a whole school year. Another student said that when she graduates she will probably have a job that doesn’t exist today. Everyone has said that there will be so many jobs in a few years that don’t exist today and we are being trained to do. Another aspect of their lives is that there are so many problems in the students’ lives. Although the problems in the world were not caused by them, they have to deal with it. Students think that technology can solve everything in our world today. They bring there laptops to school to mess around in class to make school better. Their lives are being changed every day by devices that fit in their hand. Everyone in our nation should become aware of this change in the students’ lives.
