Is Samsonite the new Eastpak?

College campuses are beginning to look like airport terminals. Maybe it's all the "nontraditional" (read: middle-aged) students attending WSU Vancouver, but something is happening here. Backpacks (Eastpak, Jansport, Invicta, what have you) have gone the way of the do-do. SUITCASES ON WHEELS have replaced them! Students no longer shlep their load on their backs like noble donkeys--oh, no--they pull them along like RadioFlyers. Will businesspeople, too, soon toss their briefcases aside in favor of this softer, gooier mode of baggage? I doth protest. Buck up, people, and try to look the part. This isn't progress, it's laziness.
