students but knowledge capitalists in training.

i see them as greyhound whippets being trained for the track, where their trainers will bet on them...

...or money-making machines, shiny, glossy, active info-bank-ATM's, geared to unquestioningly feed the profits from their labour 'upstairs', while their own doubts about the process are rendered silent under a barrage of tantalising carrot-images, winning the lottery, 'making it big', philippe patek watches, the sailing channel, celebrity-obsession and the like.

consumer coma, in the sunset flare of a passing era.
