A Vision of Students Today
This video was made by Professor Michael Welsh and features the thoughts, views, and experiences of students in Intro to Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University. It's the latest in a series of well known (some would say famous, some would say infamous) YouTube videos on the nature of information in the 21st century, and how people interact with it and react to it.
What do you think? Does this video describe your life as a student? Or do you find it an inaccurate representation of contemporary students? We would love to have your thoughts below. You can also check out the Kansas State webpage dedicated to the project.

A couple of follow up posts. In the first, Dr. Welsh writes about the process of making the video:

The second provides an interesting counterpoint to A Vision of Students Today. It is, as its name states, A Vision of Professors Today:

True, this vision of professors seems to be pretty U.K. specific (and honestly I think it overemphasizes certain negatives while ignoring a lot of the joy professors get in teaching), but an interesting counterpoint nonetheless.
