Your article drips irony and as satire is hilarious (it IS satire is it?)
You could try expanding your circle of friends a little, that worked for me as a CS student, try some sports, or music, be an anti-geek. Make it so that no-one would guess you were a CS student if you didn't tell them so. You might lose your nerdy peers' respect, but is it really worth keeping?
Yet here I am, 30, single and with no girlfriend...cursed be the day I chose a CS major.:) P.S. I do shower ok...
What a waste of effort! Most students have access to internet away from school anyway. All teachers should do is to demand that students use more than one source for their papers, and duly document their bibliography. Wikipedia could point them in the right direction: most entries have an ample list of sources the students could turn to in their research.
Even published books are sometimes grossly inaccurate. The medium is not the problem, the problem is to blindly trust any source without doing independent verification.
