Google Glass is really cool technology without yet a killer app to make everyone rush out to buy one, even after they drop from their current $1,500 price tag. I assume someone will come up with one, but honestly even then I can’t imagine them every becoming as ubiquitous as smartphones.
I suppose this isn’t an entirely unhealthy response to rejection, assuming one isn’t living in total denial. And in this case, Trey is definitely in denial.
I think a lot of students feel like they’re in a no-win situation when it comes to writing. That’s a problem. Unfortunately, there’s only so much a teacher can do within a classroom, and then the rest rests on the student’s motivation.
Of course, there are worse outcomes to dating while time traveling. You could be like Fry on Futurama and become your own grandfather. I think that was how it went, at least (I assume the Internet will quickly correct me in the comments below if wrong).
Still, as a way of thinking positively, I like the time travel outlook.
Students often try the excuse that the printer broke. That works fine, until you note that they also have access to email. Then the excuse becomes their email didn’t deliver. It’s funny how all technology fails when it comes time to turn a paper in.
I understand the desire for a bigger screen on a cell phone, but there has to be a limit, right? I mean, I don’t particularly care to start carrying a separate bag just for my phone. And at some point you just start looking silly holding that thing against your head. I suppose it makes sense for people who rarely use it as a phone and are more interested it as a tablet, but then why not just get a tablet and use Skype on those rare occasions you need to make a phone call?
I’ve actually had someone get angry at me before because I said I didn’t have a huge preference between the two formats. I’ve used both and find both to have some strengths and weaknesses, but beyond that it’s mostly a tool in my mind. I get someone preferring Toyota over Honda, but I can’t see why it would make them angry.
Sometimes I will use vacation photos in class activities. My theory is that this is about the only way you can have a captive audience view your vacation photos and not lose friends in the process. This is likely the most purely evil act I will ever commit in my life.
I think a good visualization exercise for desperate single people is to imagine that suddenly you’re the opposite sex. Now, would you sleep with you? No? Then that may explain some of your dating draught. It might also be a good lesson that you’re setting your sights too high. Maybe you should settle. Maybe you should settle–for you.
And no, that is not a masturbation joke.
No doubt one could get a decent education through YouTube videos. I often go there when I need something explained. I just doubt the dedication of most to stick to it before being distracted by funny cat videos. Or funny dog videos. Or funny honey badger videos. Basically, I know I’m easily distracted.
