I personally think WiFi is the best one.  Having wireless anywhere on campus and the ability to check email, research a paper, etc. is a huge time saver.

Well I think our society is already addicted to technology.  There's no way around that.

By the way, why so many posts?  Next time try to say it all in one post.  Thanks.

Dan that was a great video, thanks for sharing it.  Where did you come across it?

two things really stuck out to me:

1) Was when one of the girls held up two signs, where the first one said "When I graduate I will probably have a job" and the second says "That doesn't exist today."  I think thats a very accurate and true statement.  The workforce and technology is developing so rapidly that the curriculum can't keep up with it.

2) The very end where the professor is writing on the chalkboard.  He writes "Writing on a chalkboard.  What's missing: photos, videos, animations, network.  (star) forces the professor to move."   This is something I've never considered before, but its true.  Some of the best professors I've had where the ones who were animated and moved around.  Those were the classes where I really remembered what was taught.  The classes which were all powerpoint and video were cool at the time, but I probably couldn't tell you much now about what was shown.
