Fuck. That's a lot of Macbooks. Where is this?

Judging by the number of Mizzou shirts, probably University of Missouri.
I'm sure some nice sized student loans paid for those nice laptops, I hope they are majoring in a useful degree!

Aside from the fact that they are all macs. WHY SO MANY LAPTOPS PERIOD?! Is this an american thing where every single student has a laptop in class? It's not like you don't see lots of student's with laptops in class here in Canada but not like that!

Truthfully, a Macbook Pro isn't that much more expensive than a high quality PC laptop. They're great to type on, they turn on instantly, and have fantastic battery life. I know that would be my choice for school.

Are you new to the internet?

Because you gotta browse facebook during class using something with a bigger screen than your iphone 4s on your parents' cell plan.

Because don't you know? We need computers in the classroom, because, uh, computers are the future! These kids should look into a job in computers, I hear that's the next growth industry.

I usually brought my laptop to large lectures like that when I had them because straining my eyes looking at the powerpoints are ridiculous.

Any technical class though - no laptops.

 

[disappoint]

Why is no one recording the lecture with a webcam and posting it on youtube? All those expensive laptops not put to full use I are disappoint.

 

[vshah]

that school probably gave one to all students, or had a big subsidy.

Actually in my school none of the teachers tell you to have a laptop and some of them will ask you to close it during class. They dont want cheating, fucking around, or the mental distraction.

First year, a kid in my class got tossed out of the lecture for having his laptop open and then not closing it fast enough when the professor asked. Unless there's some directly interactive event occurring during the class that requires a laptop, I'm totally against them in class. (unless someone needs one for a legitimate accessibility issue)

Reminds me of the time, we taped a class and panned out to the audience. We had to reshoot the footage because there were too many upskirts in the shot.
But damn that is a lot of macs. There had to be some deal with apple for students to change the percentages that much.

We the sheeple...

I'm looking at getting a laptop for school, mostly for programming. But truthfully it's more of a distraction IN class than anything else. It's really not practical for taking notes or anything else.

 

[shortylickens]

I tried OneNote and frankly paper is much easier.

Only downside is my handwriting stinks. Being able to rearrange your notes and have them look nice is kinda cool.

Why the fuck do you need a computer at a lecture in any case?

So you can ignore the lecture.

I need to get that DVD

How the hell else are they going to do their Starcraft while the teacher is rambling on about some skill or whatever useful for doing a job?
