"If a university teacher cancels a morning lecture because they are sick, students' alarm clocks and coffee machines could automatically be reset," it gives as an example.



And do students actually have alarm clocks?

It's true though, devices that talk to each other will be grand, so long as they don't turn into Facebook...

Students would be up in arms at not getting up bright and early, ready for a whole new day of opportunity and learning, surely?

Unlike other students, I was in lectures 9-6 every day for the first two years. For the next four* years, I was at the workplace for 8-6.

If a lecturer didn't turn up, we sat around and chatted because the next lecture would start in an hour's time.




*for one year when I intercalated, I actually had just two lectures a day. I was still up and active by 8am.

I know you know that what you said, on the whole, is utter tripe.
