BACK TO SCHOOL: Part of today's college experience

It's mid-August, and the stores are full of back-to-school products. In addition to notebooks, paper and highlighters, apparently K-cups and video games are also necessities for today's student. "What's brewing on campus" proclaimed a sign for an $89 Keurig coffee machine; "Get Your Gaming Cards for Back to Campus," read a sign with a display full of Google Play cards. In my college days we drank instant coffee and played backgammon, no "gaming cards" required.
