I was perusing my University's web pages the other day and came across a news item. It was reporting on a new Student Learning Centre building on one of our campuses which featured, among other things, a "Microsoft Tech lounge" with Xbox 360s.

For some reason this upsets me. I understand that for years universities have been a breeding ground for games and gamers, but it has always been on the students' own time and completely unsanctioned by the University. Now it seems the university is actively encouraging students to goof off while on campus.

Or am I just getting old?
