Instead of just making it a pdf like a normal person, or even making the TA print and hand out hard copies. It’s like they’re just trying to use technology inefficiently as possible.

This is just preparing you for the workforce, where you will be surrounded by clueless boomers who have no idea how to use technology properly. Get used to it!

My boys’ middle and high school teachers have sold their souls to Google. Google this, Google that, and I, an old fart, think it’s a pain in the ass. I look back fondly on the days when teachers pinned important papers to our shirts. Now, if it’s important, it’s MY responsibility to check the teachers’ websites, not theirs to make sure I get the information.

Get ready for the working world. Every minute of every day.

This may be the best professor you ever have.

LOL, I just realized you beat me to it!

Not just Boomers, though. The younger workers are the worst about curt emails, lack of decorum. I’ll take technical inefficiency over social incompetence.

And I’ll sit back in my Gen X house and judge everyone. It’s what we do best! Well, apart from FOUNDING THE DIGITAL ECONOMY!

Hey, hey - we Gen X’ers get ignored while Boomers and Millenials get blamed for EVERYTHING that’s wrong with this world.

I kinda like being under the radar, so let’s keep it that way, huh?

I’m the third-youngest in my ~50 person office. Every email I send includes a greeting, a thought-out & cogent body, and a non-automated “Thanks, Marquette” signature. Meanwhile, I regularly receive emails with my name misspelled (it’s right there in the autofilled email address!) and pertinent information missing, if not an incomprehensible brain dump that wasn’t even given the most cursory “proofreading”. I’m not even talking about grammatical slips, but a complete lack of sense. EXAMPLE: “Can you add broadcast some what the same place as new product info to point out different areas of our web site?” uhh.... what?

LOL.

I get the name misspelling thing all the time, despite a very common name with one predominant spelling (the alternate spellings are NEVER a part of the typo, which is weird).

But good on you for having that thoroughness. Email is crucial and can come back to bite you, but a lot of people treat it like expanded texting.

Senior executives are the worst. It’s like their time is too valuable to...communicate effectively?

I really find it annoying when they never mention when things are due in class, they just tell you to track the website. Not to mention technical issues, like I had a quiz that was due at midnight on the 7th. I go to take it around 4pm on the 7th and it’s not there. I email the TA and he was just like “Well maybe he changed when it was due.”

Quiz grades are only 10% of the grade in that class, so I don’t really mind. But it’d be nice if stuff like this didn’t happen.

My wife works for a major university, and she has had job candidates say, “You can see my resume on my website.” To which they reply, “Thanks for your interest, but no thanks.” If you can’t be troubled to send us a hard copy, we can’t be troubled to go read it. Technology is a wonderful thing, but people rely on it too much.

In one of my very last classes at college we had to submit some programs by burning them onto CDs. Couldn’t email them or use USB drives. Thankfully I had put a burner in my PC when I built it. I have never grappled with something that felt that obsolete in quite some time.
