Observing AWC Students

After a day of watching students around campus closely like some kind of private investigator I noticed things that I had never noticed before. Almost everyone on campus is connected in some way to some device. There are athletes walking around campus with their Beats by Dre or some other headphone or speaker system blasting their music like everyone and their mother wants to hear it. There are the gamers in the cafeteria and the 3C building showing off the newest handheld gaming device and flat out plugging in Xbox 360’s into any outlet they can find. In the lobbies of all the dorms you can find a few people sitting and watching sports or the news on the big screen TVs. The computer lab has people who are doing work on the computer while listening to their iPod and texting at the same time! I would say this is shocking but hey, I do that all the time too. In class there almost everyone checks their phone at least once and there is the typical few people who never even look up to see what the teacher is doing or saying. While walking around campus I saw an abundance of people with either headphones in or heads down texting. Hardly was there anyone without a phone in their hand. The best part of my “investigation” was getting to see someone who had their head down texting walk into a puddle grassy section and step right into what must have been a couple inch deep section. They proceeded to jump up, look around to make sure no one saw, and walk around, still looking at their phone. To be honest I hope it happened to them again, Darwinism will eventually teach them.
