Using IM's, E-mail and twitter as students

Back then, when students were sick and had to skip some school days, it was a pain in the neck for classmates to walk all the way to where the sick student lived to deliver missed assignments and lecture notes. But now, we have the internet, a wonderful thing called emails that can send messages to people with attached documents and images which is way less troublesome and time-consuming. I am so glad I was born during this era of technology.
Though I found it funny how most of us ended up showing up to class even after all the messages Dr. J sent us about class being canceled.
