Cell Phones and College Tuition
...In 1978, my college tuition was about $1,200 per year. In 1985 my first cell phone also cost me $1,200, and its sole function was that it could make phone calls
... Are students smarter?
Obviously, the answers are no, no, no, no, and hell no.
What is the cause of such severe and disproportional inflation in the education system, and the even greater disproportional improvements in mobile phone technologies, services, and costs?
Two answers:
To the first part -- the "Department of Education" was established and signed into law by President Jimmy Carter on October 17, 1979.
To the second -- there is as of yet no such thing as a "U.S. Department of Mobile Phones."
