Wireless On Campus

Trinity University was voted in the top ten for being one of the best wireless campuses in the US. I believe that this is a good thing for the university considering how big of a role technology plays in our every day life. Personally, I use the wireless network very seldom. My first semester I would bring my computer to Writing Workshop at times when we were asked to. I found the internet to be as big of a distraction as one would let it be. We normally brought in our computers to do research on a topic for our paper that we were in the process of writing. I usually started off looking up research but later faded towards surfing the net and just cruising around on facebook. What I really do enjoy is how all the teachers put up lecture notes online which makes it quite easy to follow along if the student just wants to bring their computer to class. I have thought about just starting to bring my computer and nothing else because it is just as easy to take notes on the computer as it would be to write them down, possibly even faster and more efficient. To some it may also make the sometimes dull classroom more enjoyable by multi tasking, by taking notes and looking on the internet for other information.
