Educational disconnect

Here's an intriguing, thought-provoking piece on the daily lives of college students. Based on what I'm seeing with my high school senior and sophomore, I'm guessing it's dead on -- except for college debt, which I gotta believe will exceed $20k for most students. (I'm still thinking about the video, but the first question it makes me ask is, how have we, in such a "connected" world, become so disconnected?):

excellent video, very thought provoking.
that classroom? that was my symposium classroom. and the students in my class had speakers every class. brought in to talk to them about their careers in advertising, illustration and communication design. many of the students wrote notes, im'd each other, worked on other class assignments, browsed their facebook profiles and a very few would sleep.
