condemns the youth of the nation as gadget-obsessed, perennially multitasking, social failures who can't really get into anything important or even relax.
The article notes that notebooks in college classrooms (now WiFi enabled more often than not) aren't used for notetaking anymore, but for IMing your friends about how boring the lecture is and for collecting Keira Knightley pics in your blog.When class rings out, a roomful of teens reach for their cell phones to call or SMS buddies down the hall, or even in the same room.

Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I'm definitely closer to real-life friends, but I don't consider it much different. But yeah, I have trouble multitasking. If I have Gaim open while trying to do homework, one of them totally suffers.

But that's an advantage to using Linux -- very few games to distract me here

When Vista comes out do you plan on installing it? I mean your going to have to give in one of these years. Dont buy it right away, Probally after Patch 5.0 comes out. >.> I want to try Linux but I see no use. Unless your going to use it for projects that your never going to finsh "Raises hand" I dont see the point. IF you could iago sir give me 5 reason to get Linux over Vista. (After about 4 patchs come out to fix the bugs)
Yeah, or else the OS would cost more than the hardware, LOL.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there
Our species really annoys me.
