The Backchannel emphasizes everything that is wrong with technology and how it can be used inappropriately. Kids bring their laptops into class now, hit the record button, have the computer take notes in MSWword, while they chill out on Facebook and chat with their friends, while it looks like their paying attention. Humans have turned into drones that just need to constantly switch the channel and it's a shame that someone would create a program that essentially allows students to talk to each other and pass notes back and forth while in class. It's even more shameful that the teacher, who is trying to teach, would be the one to endorse this behavior.
Sad day in America.
