the trend continues (Score 1)

Yes, the trend continues, but it depresses me. As a graduate student, I teach Freshmen chemistry recitation & the unwillingness of students to roll up their sleeves and do a little work and perhaps(big shock) even learn!! something amazes me. John Q. Public wants the paper & the job. They'll schlep away mindlessly pointing & clicking 8-10 hours a day & then spend 5 hours at home drooling in front of the tube. And as long as they drive an SUV they'll think they have a good life.
