loved of old school.

here at william and mary we boast several titles. the worlds second oldest college. the nations second best small public school. we are a "college" that runs with the best of universities and we want to keep it that way. it is common on campus to see us all glued to our laptops. we facebook, blog, e-mail, use listservs, stream content off the web, skype, google, and download with the best of them. but do we have potential for so much more? personally, that doesn't bother me. nor do i really care to pit myself technologically against other schools. because i am not sure that our school wants to boast that we are the most technologically advanced. that we are the most washed out by the glow of our computer screens. that we blog more than we talk to each other. that we can make the most happen without bothering to come into contact with other people. that we see our friends through our computers or phones than we do in real life. that sooner or later, we will be so dependent on our computers that we cannot function without them.
