Exams on the laptop

Dear god this stuff has become so sophisticated. What ever happened to bluebooks? The Exam software we individually upload on our laptops ends up taking 90% of the "fun" part out of the exam. I mean, how stressed can you really get when you're sitting there clicking away on your own laptop? And there's a countdown timer, it auto-saves, it will give you reminders when time is running out... Pretty much it's dummy proof. I am somewhat sad, because where am I going to find my humor now?? I can't laugh at everyone! Nor will my hand be cramping every 5 min during finals. And it auto-formats your font. Pretty much, all you gotta do now is type the stuff in and spell it right. They even have accounted for issues on exam day--they sit outside the classroom if you have tech issues and you can hand your laptop over and they'll fix it + give you extra time at the end that you lost while your laptop did it's malfunctioning.

Ahhhhh technological bliss...
