LESSONS AT COLLEGE: CLASSROOM AND MORE…



There is this guy at college who usually sits in the middle benches of the class, so he is never far off. Suddenly a buzz would fetch your attention there and in the middle of the class all his attention will be shifted to the update at the smart phone, well maybe it always was there. Some witty statement just crossed your mind and you would already be craving to put it online if you already have not done while it came. With technology being so handy and universal one will always have more than one thing at a time. Timeline connect, just tweet or link In ,bbm, wassapp or just a text, view pages or check e-mails and now e-shop; the stuff which really don’t help you gain (based on time invested and results gained) but certainly takes the share of work though makes you look busy when you are really not doing one thing which is the reason of falling efficiency and low results when compared to the potentials.

 Rules like no mobiles and electronic notebooks in class will not be a solution as it has been deep rooted by now. It lives in the brain, waits impatiently for the class to get over. It has grown so big that there seems no solution. And the case is no different at organizations. The virtual and actual life has blended very subtly into a habit of everyone. I am no exception. It acts as a resort of escapism, from the world into a more controlled place.
