Michael Wesch's "A Vision of Students Today" is bringing up the issue of how education today is becoming less and less relevant and out dated. The traditional styles of learning don't really apply anymore yet we continue to let them roll on unquestioned. This is shown in the video by students describing how they spend their time in and out of class. The major use of technology in the classroom was being used to communicate on sites like Facebook, Twitter and myspace. The only explanation for this is that the method of teaching can no longer hold the attention of the students. This directly leads into the next problem with standard education a student holds up a sign that reads " I will be $20,000 in debt after graduation!" If we are paying so much for education why is the system not changing to meet our needs?after all we are paying for it it would be like buying a TV that doesn't work wouldn't you expect the business ( the school) to replace or refund the product ( the education) that you purchased
