Even though,
I’m an Eastern European and I suppose to be familiar with all the technologies
from the Middle Ages, there were only few times I’ve seen this thing ->
And in the University of Malta you can find the head projector
[that’s how it’s called] in every room. Even one of my tutors [I dropped his
lecture eventually] was using transparent paper slides with the text he written
by HAND. It could be understandable, cause he is around 80 years old, but why then
he was talking about innovation and that good managers have to adapt to the
changing world all the time? “Excuse me, sir. I’ve heard about this really
innovative thing they have in the West. It’s called PowerPoint!”
Almost
every day our tutors struggle to connect their mini laptops to the TV or the
projector in the room. You haven’t experienced student life in the University
of Malta to the fullest if you hadn’t seen those friendly men in their blue
shirts and knitted vests who fly in and use their magical remote control to
make everything work in the room. Thanks guys! I’m being serious now, if weren’t
those men our lecturers would still be swearing in Maltese and pushing all the buttons.
I just
adore one lecture where my tutor switches off the projector and starts reading
information from the book while adding some pointless statements such as
“Disabled people – people with disabilities” or “You know…I don’t know”.
Today we
had presentations delivered in one of the lectures and suddenly electricity
went off. So my coursemates continued to present their material with the hope
that electricity will turn on every second. Since our university, apparently,
doesn’t have a generator, we spent an hour listening to the speech about the
Museum of Fine Arts, with no visual material. I just want to remind you that it
was a presentation about MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS. You know what upsets me the most?
That Lidl has a freakin generator but not the University of Malta…
Oh yeah,
don’t forget the IT technologies in the library. I will try not to expand on
the fact that they still use Windows XP, or the time a lovely lady with
insanely long nails explained to us that the problem why we couldn’t print out
one paper is because the file was in PDF… Cause, you know, I don’t know… From
that day we sworn to ourselves never ever ever use the printers in the library.
And we keep this promise by not entering it at all…
