ha ha, my comments were a tad off-topic…

as for the topic at hand, teachers these days have little idea of the changes taking place, so students are going to have a massive learning gap where they are going to have to educate themselves in a number of things.

So very true. The rapid advancement of technologies is only going to lead to a whole plethora of new jobs. It’ll be like this for, well, quite a while.

I am college student due to graduate in December. So I am seeing thoughts on discussed in this video on a daily basis. What I get out of this video is that students don’t think what is on the chalkboard is important because it doesn’t apply to the new business 2.0 format (as well as other things; college debt, not enough time to study, work, sleep, eat, etc. )
Students must understand that basic business principles are still very important. However, a new dawn is awakening, Business 2.0 (Blogs, YouTube Viral Marketing, Social Networking, etc.). Is everything on the chalkboard irrelevant? No.
But teachers & lectures need to educate students on Business 2.0 and how their Facebook profiles are business tools, how YouTube can be used as a marketing tool, etc. I think teachers are already doing this but teachers need to be better educated about these new technologies as well.
As for the other things, sadly… I agree with Marc (in a sense). That a lot of the younger generation work ethic is messed up. I do agree with Marc’s #1 & #2 comments, younger generations need to understand how to work hard to achieve things.

The future will be here before we know it! I think it’s safe to say that most people have unrealistic expectations of what will be.

Be prepared!

Sorry Brandon, it was really depressing. You should hear the unedited version though, lol

The world is continually changing, the Internet is speeding up the process right now. These students are just reacting to their current situation. No doubt many students are more savvy and comfortable with technology than their instructors.

I understand that they may feel they are paying for an education that is delivered to them in an archaic fashion. But it’s important for them to understand that Experience is still more valuable than readily accessible information via the web.

In short…..Listen to your Elders!

Well Marc, maybe the video isn’t depressing, but your comment kind of was. Education is of course still important. Educating the young people about destroying the planet and how they can help would be a good step.
