Back in the day, classmates would disappear from one another's lives on the last day of school; and re-emerge into each others lives the first day of school.
There was a "summer vacation tunnel." It was a solitary journey and you went it alone. Some came out with new braces, a new hair color or having grown 3 inches.
Others completely unchanged.
But it used to be there was a summer abiss. And students would lose touch with their classmates for the summer months.
No more.
Sure, they might not still physically see each other.
But believe you me, kids these days are absolutely connected to each other all year long via the movement of electrons.
They're all on Facebook.
And the hot new hang-out there is
the Sun Microsystems Student Zone
