  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • You're listening to Roundtable.

  • I'm Niu Huling joined by Steve and Yixin.

  • Coming up soon,

  • your phone has 128 gigabytes of storage and 20 of them are taken up by apps you only use to buy hot water or check your grades.

  • Is your university's smart campus actually making you smarter or on the contrary,

  • a little bit frustrated?

  • And could the secret of better blood sugar and a faster metabolism be as simple as moving your desk three feet closer to the window.

  • Today,

  • we're looking at why window seat is one of the most important assets you can have at the office.

  • But now...

  • Welcome to the modern university experience,

  • where you need more apps to survive a Tuesday than a NASA astronaut needs to get to Mars.

  • We've got an app for the gym, an app for the library, an app for the canteen,

  • and apparently an app that makes you watch a commercial for sneakers before you can turn on the shower.

  • It's called digital fatigue, and its only subject every student is currently majoring in.

  • asking why is my school's all in one app?

  • Actually, 10 separate headaches.

  • You have to watch a sneaker app before you can turn on the shower.

  • That's annoying.
