The sad thing is I took a class on "Technology and Society" that I could
have actually used this to generate my "papers".
Weird class - we had two "textbooks" - Brave New World & Affluenza and
had to watch 3 films - Bicentennial Man, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,
and Gattaca.
I actually had my "paper" on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea MARKED DOWN
because I made comparisons between the BOOK, the movie and the cultural
climate of the times the movie was made.
The instructor didn't like my footnotes. Instead of standard footnotes
referencing the quoted text, I was supposed to just Xerox the page and
turn it in along with my "paper". Plus I guess a four page "paper" was
too long.
The instructor was in kindergarten the last time I had previously
written a college paper, and the other students in the class weren't
even yet a gleam in anyone's eye ...
