As I teach full time for a local college, I have seen the rapid transition to these digital zombies. Five years ago I would have tell my classes to "quiet down" and "settle down, let's begin..." Now there isn't a word spoken, in fact I must FORCE them to communicate with each other. It's sad. With the world at your fingertips 24/7 you would think these millennials would be the most worldly, creative, well read, informed group of kids but the EXACT opposite is true (not all, but mostly). The photography students refuse to shoot photos, the ceramics students don't want to get dirty, the graphic design students say "I just don't have ANY ideas". Digital Zombies.
Ugh. I will quit my complaining now, but really folks, I think we're doomed. These people will be taking care of us some day!
