Is now a good time to complain about that one guy who brings a $3000 gaming laptop to the computer science lectures because expensive stuff makes him a good programmer and proceeds to distract people accross the room by the sheer volume of his fan spinning?

Don't complain about my Lenovo Jetpad. The jet engine helped me think by drowning out other sounds.

I'm deaf now, but that was a sacrifice.

I just have a hard time picturing things being so different from when I left academia only a couple of years ago. Everybody still had pen and paper notebooks

I haven't been to school for a couple decades. Do they no longer teach how to take proper notes in your first year (paper or computer or otherwise)?

First year... In college? No, that's pre-requisite knowledge that they expect students to have from secondary school.
