4:20 p.m on a Friday, and at last, class is over! While I'm glad that I can at finally go back to my dorm and spend the rest of the day relaxing, doing homework, and maybe spend a while hanging out with some of my friends, I can't help but notice that class never seems to be long enough. "Alright class, go home, work on your next assignment, and I will email you a list of what needs to be done for next class". A phrase I have heard countless times since I started my college career in August of 2011. The whole situation just makes me ask myself "How on earth would we get everything done in this crazy world we have today without email, and our trusty laptops, allowing us to do homework and check email on the go?" Having laptops in college has just made everything simpler, right? Well the answer to that question is pretty subjective, because while the academic world requiring laptops can help greatly supplement our educations, there are also problems such as failure to send out emails, many times requiring students to be in a place with a outlet and an internet connection, and some may argue that sending out emails may confuse information. So really, when you think about it, have laptops made life in college simpler?
