E-strategy "a complete success" The University's much slated "E-strategy" was branded a complete success last night. The strategy, which begins and ends with putting a computer network connection in every student bedroom, has exceeded all expectations. "It's fantastic", commented University Self-Publicity Officer, Peter Dunce, "The new students are staying in their rooms, downloading mp3s, dirty pictures and pirated movies. This time last year, freshers were going out to the union, getting drunk and missing lectures. But now we can broadcast lectures on warwickpiazza.net so that they have no option but to see them. Because they are going out less, they are making fewer friends and having fewer relationships, thus freeing up more time for them to study." This is phase one of the estrategy. Phase two will include the deferred and very stupid idea of forcing every student to purchase their own laptop. All lectures will be conducted over the internet, and students will be able to order Rootes food direct to their rooms, so that they never need to leave them. To ensure that this is the case, students will be locked inside their rooms, unable to leave until July. In phase three, students will be physically wired into the computer network, with wires feeding information directly into their visual processing cortex. Pipes into the stomach will bring food and remove waste. Casually dressed lecturers will be replaced by black-suited Learning Agents ensuring maximum information throughput in the Learning Matrix. Students will live their entire lives within this simulated computer environment, as virtual slaves of this huge artificial intelligence. According to Dunce, "Warwick will be a pioneer in this brave new world of subjugation and suffering." ---- Frequently Asked Questions about the E-stategy: What resources are there on the internet for students?
