The University of Pennyslvania is now offering a “Wasting Time on the Internet” class that will earn students credit.

The class, literally named “Wasting Time on the Internet,” is being taught by Professor Kenneth Goldsmith this Spring 2015 semester. In 2010, Professor Goldsmith also taught “Uncreative Writing: Robotic Erotica/Erotic Robotics: Scribing a Non-Expresssive [sic] Sexuality.”

Goldsmith writes for his new class that “students will be required to stare at the screen for three hours, only interacting through chat rooms, bots, social media and listservs.

“Distraction, multi-tasking, and aimless drifting is mandatory,” the description adds.

Unless you work too hard.

I think that means he writes a blog about his RealDoll.

[Darksheare]

That is a possibility as well.

I just realized I’ve been posting to you on what I thought was the thread on the cat coming back to life.

HEHEHE!

[and no....I haven’t been drinking!]

“. I wonder what kind of job opportunities would be available if you majored in that silly subject.”

So is this going to be a career choice in the future? I’d like to look into it.

I think that qualifies for major “lack of situational awareness” credit. Goes right with this course...

I’d tell my kid, “You take that course, YOU pay for it!”

But, fortunately, I don’t have a kid.

Add a Concentration in Social Change and Media as reflected by Star Trek Moires, and I’m right there with you.

[Daffynition]

Heh. What you said.

[Slings and Arrows]

And yet the posts were strangely appropriate...

Ah - this week’s reason to be happy I never send donations to my alma mater.....

I find it interesting that this is in the English department. That “academic discipline” is becoming a parody of itself. I wonder if for this guy, his courses are not just some form of experiment on his part to see how ridiculous he can get before a class proposal gets shot down.

This would be the new “rocks for jocks”.
