If walls could talk they would explain the troubles that college students go through; walls recognize that we do not have enough time in the day to complete everything that we need to. In Wesch's video students showed how they needed about two and a half more hours a day to complete everything that they are asked to complete. However, computers are distracting students from completing what we need to because we are going on Facebook and sending hundreds of emails instead of doing our work. In addition, Wesch argues that we often do not pay attention to the professor during class.
What is the solution? Wesch says that we have not created many problems, but we still need to deal with the issues. We should be trying to eliminate or deal with problems like poverty, stress, and political issues. However, are we adding to our own problem?
If walls could talk, they would say that computers are distracting us from coping with our problems. "You are spending too much time on Facebook or video chatting," our walls would most likely say. The walls are able to see what we often have difficulty realizing. Would we have more time to solve problems like world hunger and economic issues if we were less distracted by technology?
This is fantastic. I really like the point you're making and the way you're presenting it is very clear and well thought-out. I especially love the last question you present to the reader...I seriously read that and had to pause and think for a while about it afterwards.
