Hey, I'm a student of Montclair State University, and this subject has outraged many other students. It started when I was a freshman in 2005, but had been building long before I arrived. This is another example of American education becoming a commodity. For our administration, it's more about putting our school on the map, rather than making it a better place to learn. I do have the campus connect phone...its in a box at a storage shed in south jersey, and I have never missed it.
I write for the campus newspaper, The Montclarion, and this is a piece I wrote about this epidemic:
"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
