PLN # 24

Today I read an article called Why Wireless found in the fischbowl. This article talks about how schools are going wireless with cell phones. It stated that the whole school, students and staff, are allowed to use the internet on their phone instead of using the library or the computer lab. I thought that this article was interesting because students are always on their cellular devices and it would be a great way to make everything faster and easier for a student or staff member. I also thought though that it wouldn't be such a good idea because cell phone screens tend to be very small so it may cause problems when reading off work of some sort. I also thought it was a bad idea because we shouldn't just rely on phones because they can break easily, they can die, they can even run out of storage space. Although this would all be on the internet of the phone have the students or staff members ever thought to think about the bills for that device, because it costs just as much as texting to use the internet on a phone and some devices don't even have a phone. It would be cool to use wireless to do work at school but I personally feel that students and staff members get by just fine using the library or the computer lab.
This article not only relates to me and my fellow classmates but to the world also because this could be the new technology of schools worldwide and I think that everyone should look into this idea and give their opinions on whether it is good or not to use wireless devices like a cell phone do to any given school work.
