High-tech annoyances

February 25, 2009

Everyday when I go to school, I’m haunted by large LCD TV screens on every level of the school building that loops a powepoint presentation on the number of job cuts each prominent employer is making, and all the networking sessions our career services office has kindly planned for us.

Should that even have a place in an institution of higher learning?

Why aren’t they showing the latest world news, research discoveries, and discussions on academic issues and current affairs instead?

If the shiny new LCD TVs are just going to be used to propagate such propaganda and noise, I suggest we sell them all in view of the latest budget cut, or at least turn them off to save Gaia.

Yes, I do want a job, very much so. But I’m not here to make the school’s statistics and KPIs.
