An unexpected battle

Wireless internet is no where to be found on NEC's campus. (The new computers in Spaulding are cool even though we're still suffering from the same low-bandwith. We'll survive. ) A letter urging for the implementation of wireless access points at NEC was circulated last semester. Many faculty and staff were extremely supportive.

Resistance did come, but from an unexpected source. My peer(s). His reason, "you don't need internet to study classical music." True, but the world is much more than sleeping, practicing and playing. It's not his fault. This young fellow was an upper-classman who seems to be having a good time at NEC. Pardon me but I'd like to call this a form of brain-washing. Nemo stuck in the fish tank comes to mind somehow... though he was able to return to sea in the end.

Here's my take though: internet accessibility is something that all of us will need sooner than later and there isn't a better place for a young mind to start making that a part of his/her routine than in college. It's one of those things that is good for you, only, if you don't use it, you won't know.
