The technophile student...

begins his/her day in bed, as most students do. S/he rolls over to discover their holographic alarm clock come MP3 Player dock says it is 12.35 in the afternoon. This is not good, as student has a large assignment to send in today and shouldnt have spent so long out last night. So dragging his/herself out of bed, student hobbles over to the laptop on his/her desk and touches the screen to turn it on. Several hours later, after getting increasingly bored with said assignment student decides to see what games are available on the internet using his/her new touch screen laptop. Another two hours of touch screen tetris later, student finishes the essay and emails it off to the campus's main online office.



A week later, when student is wondering why they havent received feedback on their assignment from Mother Brain at the university, s/he checks their email outbox. Student forgot to attach the assignment to the email and is now failing the course.



ANother week later student receives another email saying that because the assignment was late s/he has received a 50% mark deduction and the essay is still a fail.
