One thing about the moratorium... Most college students nowadays have grown up alongside telephones, computers and TV. They haven't learned any other ways to contact people who aren't adjacent to them in a timely fashion... I, for one, would be very hard pressed to say "hello" to many of my friends on my campus, simply because the dorms are locked, and I have no way to say "hey, let me in". I don't blame college students for being dependent on technology, as that's how we stay in contact with each other.

The article also mentioned that this group of people doesn't read newspapers or listen to the radio, so the loss of their usual media cuts them off even more than might otherwise be the case. (I'd be curious as to whether they still had landlines available.)
