Bantino:
Has my teacher gone AWOL?
@AfricanApple

nope, I'm here

Feraz:
You sir, I'm sorry to say have this mentality of what many undergraduates here in Nigeria complain about their lecturers. You among the school of people who believe whatever a professeur says is the ultimate judging from your above post. You believe a child is wrong whenever an adult speaks up. You believe the professeur being discussed here can never be wrong but the above post you quoted is wrong.

The truth is people are trying to save trees for the world to go back to being the way it was.

And Africanapple, that's a hasty generalisation. Not everyone love abbreviations when writing. I for one, hate such. I must have done it sometime back when I had my first phone but not anymore.

its not hasty generalisation, it what I see everyday na


so u mean u got all d time in d world to be writing in full

coogar:
.......more than the number of months you have spent on this planet.

na yeye dey worry u

LordReed:
Please explain how the fact that we can now access more information than is available in your physical vicinity is negative.

The prof got it wrong big time.

it's not d fact that we can access it dat is negative but what we are accessing

Google is not just a fountain that springs It's own water.. it gathers resources from different sites...It's left for you to use your discretion to choose Which best fit your purpose...
If you doubt the authenticity of one...there are dozen other choices to choose from.
And not all of them can be wrong... If Google wasn't authentic they would've been massive protest and lawsuits against them.

There are two mediums here...The book and the internet... These two are genuine or Maybe you know of a medium I don't know about.


And you should be intelligent enough to know the correct words and full spellings...At least we all attended schools


Can you compare the price of books to that of data?

For example....With 100 Naira you can buy airtel's WTF bundle Which is 50mb and download up to 15 books in both PDF and epub formats...Thanks to the brilliant minds behind the numerous ebook readers we've in the market today.

Meanwhile the last book (novel) I bought costs me N1500....Yet when I searched my ebook reader I found the Same book...it was less than 1mb!


But you're quoting me


My love for books is hereditary... not even the internet can destroy that trait...

And to your last question..... I've got my room

NB: That 2000 was only an exaggeration

what discretion are u talking about when u will be seeing different answers, u will actually get confused especially when d subject is new to u and u know nothing about it. I never said they are all wrong but how will u know for sure that this is right if u have no book or strong source to compare it.
d other day I was making a research, I checked two webs and they gave me two different answers, imagine dat


u have forgotten dat u could get too use use to dem dat u forget some spellings during exams, the culture of books might die remember? meaning no reading of books at all

u bought a novel for 1500? dats not true

quoting u does not mean we are talking about


I knew u meant 20 books

Rooneyboy:
Stop spewing rubbish dear , the positives of the internet out muscles the negatives.

Ur argument holds no water @all.

POC, my opinion is not rubbish.
d prof said d truth and u are all vibrating. d truth is indeed bitter

as a matter of fact, measuring d positivity and negativity depends on what u are using d net for.

for communication, d positivity outweighs d neg

but for info, d neg outweighs d pos


becos d prof hit d nail on d head, he is suddenly wrong, na wa o

webninja:
AfricanApple my girl, Your comment looks retarded.

tell me why u think its low

Rooneyboy:
With the internet around our lecturers/Doctors/and professors can't deceive us anymore, these days they know we go back home to do our investigation/findings ...

A doctor tried one rubbish with me some months back ,i went home and consulted my best friend "google" , I came back to his office the following day educating him on the subject matter , I saw the shock written all over his face. A priceless expression on his face that day

This single act saved me from his knives, cos he was really agitating for a surgery.

.......... # I refuse to be a passive patient/ student

that's it na, u consult d internet and think u have known it all, grab a book and u will see u are just about to know more

3coins:
"sis" is in the dictionary,sis.

ekemini007:
Hw can the prof be wrong, when most people cnt even finish reading text here on nairaland without complaining about its lenght,How can prof be wrong when when as soon as the lecturer says "begin"_ everyone brings out there phones,(a sign that they havnt read at all let alone read much)_ how can a prof be wrong and u a roadside academician be right.
9ja youths claiming know_ know since 1914.

3coins:

herald9:
Reading is reading... the medium through Which you read from does not matter as far the information passed on is of standard and quality.

NL has proven to be such a medium...if you doubt the authenticity you can always Google it.

As for not writing words in full...it depends on the type of thread and also the type of discussion... I use pidgin a lot on chatterings but will switch to the basic on serious threads....so it really depends on the types of threads and personalities therein.



And one advantage the internet has over books is accessibility.
You got all the information you need at the tip of your finger regardless of your economic status as far as you got internet connection and data.
Gbam!
Of what use is a book if you have no money to purchase it?



Some people you say.
It doesn't apply to me....

And that won't Stop me from owning my personal library


Already got like 2000 books to my credit now

u seriously say d medium through which u read does not matter? all I can say is hmmmm cos something is obvious here.

so u think Google has authentic answers to every questions uhn

pidgin is different from abbreviations, I never mentioned pidgin to u. even while writing intellectually we tend to use abbreviations cos its a faster way of writing

if u dont have money to buy books u can't have money to buy data.
d info are not always at the tip of your finger as u think. most of d time they are not complete (and might not even be correct)

we are not talking about you, are we

with your addiction to internet how will u be encouraged to buy books to fill up your 'library'


there are books and there are also books. besides where do u keep these 2k books of yours cos I gat something on mah mind

dre11:

It is very possible to bleed twice.....some females are born with extraordinary tight V* that while others are taking measures to av a tight v* ,it takes few weeks abstainance to get back into shape,only dat ladies like that usually encounter troubles during child delivery.

exactly. imagine a woman who naturally has tight V abstained for two years, and d man may not even be gentle since she isnt a virgin. shyt happens mehn

coogar:
you can't bleed twice....
it's a one-off moment - not to be repeated again & some women don't even bleed at all throughout the process.

it's nothing to bother about......

just how many women have u eff in ur life to know one can't bleed twice or was dat what u studied

Wisegeek01:
He could be right, he could be wrong,

but the thing is when I build a mansion in the coming years . ..

I'd definitely have a standard sophisticated library as well as a digital library,

The internet has helped a lot, but to me books have got their place.

No offence I got lots of e-books, and the regular books (for those times nepa strikes)

even if its bungalow I will still put a sophisticated library there

to me the internet shouldn't even be compared to books in terms of reading and writing
