expecting too much
Seems the newest crop of students have a midset so totally different from what I am used to that I am feeling VERY old.
The first thought in their head is that everything that can be found is on line. No wonder they can be so easily duped, they are used to being told things via electronic means.
They don't seem to realize that the current system of information disbursement is subject to hacking and misinformation. Yet they believe it to be accurate.
Books? Who needs books anyhow?
I pity the world if these are the educated people. How much less informed can the uneducated be?
