College Happens… Tech It Out?
The advertisement is hard to miss. It’s splashed all over the Wal-Mart website, store and even stuffed into your mailbox. “College Happens. Tech It Out,†it screams at me.
I’m all for technology in the classroom, but the top thing on the Wal-Mart advertisement isn’t something that would help with school, it’s an MP3 player. Not even the second item is a school related product. They’ve got a TV for $6K instead.
Back to school shopping consisted of clothes and paper when I was a teenager. When I went to college, necessity exchanged clothing for books. I can understand needing a computer for college now, but an MP3 player? What is the matter with Wal-Mart?
