MDST 110 Final Project: Computers in Class

This video is a project for Siva Vaidhyanathan's Introduction to Media Studies Class. Students were required to make a video about one of the subjects covered over the course of the semester. This video shows what students use their computers for while they are in class and poses a solution for those that are "multitasking" and not using their laptops in a productive manner.
