I'd have to agree with this. Students are overstretched and time to sit in the library and discuss issues is at premium. I remember sitting in the library at UW-Stevens Point reviewing first year Russian with classmates. Now kids tweet on their break working at McDonalds. On the flip side, of course, we can make this TOO acceptable (I had to wait until a cashier finished texting at the register to have my order taken at a Taco Bell).
