Seriously?!

Seriously people?!  Why do you even come to class if you just sit on Facebook the entire time?

I wonder if professors realize what is actually happening on the other sides of all the laptop screens they see in class. 

(I did not take this picture. I found it on google and thought it illustrated my point.)

I can see 8 people right now (just from my chair-I'm sure there are more behind me) using some sort of media not pertaining to the Dr. Caroll’s SFL 223 class. 

Dr. Caroll's class has been my favorite class I’ve taken so far at BYU. I learned so many life-changing concepts in that class that not only apply to my future marriage, but to any relationship such as good communication, conflict resolution, etc. I actually took it last winter but thought it was such a good class that I am auditing it again this semester, just so I can be uplifted by his lectures again. Because I love this class so much, it SERIOUSLY kills me when I see sooo many people on their phones playing games, looking for Vegas concert tickets, checking Facebook, or my most/least favorite thing I saw today, a group of girls pinning Wedding ideas on Pinterest.  You are missing vital information that could change the course of your marriage because you are picking out what types of center pieces you want at your wedding! They don’t realize what they’re missing. It seriously kills me. Technology is great but it is sad how much of a distraction it can be, especially during class time.

With all of this being said, I would be lying if I said I have never done this before, especially in my other less enjoyable classes. I want to be better at not getting distracted by other media during class time.
