I have a feeling that universities are battling over each other for being the most technologically advanced.
I'm a student at a big name university (or thats what my friends say)where laptops are recommended and I think the idea of required laptops for students is a big hassle.
First, there is theft. It will happen and it will lead to consequences that both, the university and students don't want to see.
Secondly, it's not easy carrying it around...even if concealed in a bookbag, you instantly become a $2000+ moving object.
Third, laptops are a big distraction when utilized in classes since students will be tempted to use Napster, messenger, play games, etc.
And finally, laptops aren't so durable and I can't imagine how many TFT screen replacements would be made.
not a wise move people

MJR, I would like to personally thank you for writing such a narrow-minded view full of ignorance. This gives me a wonderful opportunity to comment.
First, I find it sad that people like you still exist and that "evolution" has changed them into two different beings--one contradicting the other.
I say this because you have previously mentioned assertions like the following:
I promise, I won't judge hastily. I'll take my time, assess the situation, put it in context, and arrive at a logical and reasonable conclusion.
Well, apparently you did not judge so well in this particular instance. It is absurd on your part to arrive at an illogical conclusion on view about Muslims (an area where it is obvious your knowledge lacks).
So although you have every right to state your beliefs (which seems to be plagiarized from Darwin), I suggest that you go back to YOUR cave where you can await for the unforeseen consequences.
