...started innocently enough: last month a friend sent me a virtual lily plant on Facebook and invited me to create a (Lil) Green Patch, a digital garden that would grow on my profile page, and that any of my friends could help water, weed and plant. Sounds cute, right? Not if you've recently suffered through an overwhelming slew of requests to give a grain of rice, send good karma and rate your friends on everything including their hotness, creativity, fashion sense and intelligence.

Seriously. 4) Vespas for Quadlings. It’ll look like Hells Angels took over Garden Street every day. But Euro chic. 5) On dorm room doors, eye readers instead of keys. Manual locks are so passé. 6) Students will now get $600/semester in Board Plus. Greenhouse Café is going to have some long lines. 7) Plasma TVs mounted on dining hall walls, broadcasting...
