What does this class do for me?

Today we spoke about attentiveness and if while using my phone and talking am I truly getting as much out of this class I could? Even though I use my phone and talk to those around me sometimes i still get quite a bit out of this class. Prior to this year and this class I had no knowledge of about 90% of the people we have covered and now going through this class I can actually tell you about some of the musician and what there music was all about. Especially the Beatles I knew who they where but I had never actually listened to them and yeah I'm not very fond of them but I have listened to a lot of them now and have watched movies about them and movies they have just stated on. So I have a much larger knowledge of that. So although I use my phone and talk to people around me while a album is playing or a movie I still hear it and still take note on what I enjoy so I would say I have gotten quite a bit out of this class.
