We were told to bring instructions for our next class. This made me think of Legos for some reason. When Star Wars I came out into theaters, my brothers and I were into the Lego sets for that movie. We bought practically every set there was. The instructions for the Lego sets were easy to follow. In fact, we were able to complete the sets quickly.
Those instructions were probably the only instructions I've actually really used to put something together. I know when I get a new iHome system or something along those lines, I just start putting it together without looking at the book.
It seems like as we are introduced to more technology, the easier it is for us to set things up. I think this is so because we have already done it numerous times or have even watched someone do it before.
However, some instructions these days seem very complex and confusing, so we just toss the manual out anyways and call a friend or try to reach the customer service for help.
Instructions to me seem to be fading in a way. I know that they are necessary though and that they will stay around for a long time.

English 314
Well, last semester, I took this class with another professor, but I withdrew from it. I would walk in knowing the information; however, when I left class, I was extremely confused.
Here are the three main reasons why I did not like the professor:
1. She was monotone. She showed no expression. This made it VERY difficult to pay attention to her.
2. She was NOT organized. She made us make our grading scale on projects. That may sound like a great thing, but with this professor, it was not. She also had no idea what was going on in class. We would express to her why we would want to do things, and she would say something back to us that did not relate to what we just said.
3. She did not know a thing about computers. She would be so nit-picky about how we would do things, yet she was unable to do them herself.
Because of these factors, I decided to withdraw from the class. So far, take two on this class seems okay. I like to see a syllabus and a grading scale, and the professor seems more organized and tech suave than my previous professor.
