Beer or WiFi – which is of more value to college students?

by Skip

Heh!

                          WiFi                          Beer Keg      

Today’s college students value a wireless campus environment. That’s not surprising, but the Wi-Fi Alliance, a wireless industry group, commissioned a poll of college students to see just how much wireless matters. Large majorities of students said wireless access was essential to their educations. The poll also found evidence that wireless may hinder their educations — with more than half saying that they have checked Facebook or MySpace and sent or received e-mail during class. How important is it to have wireless access? Almost half (48 percent) of students said that they would give up beer before giving up wireless access.

I wonder what the answer of the ‘Grok collegiate is….or the ‘Grok collegiate’s Dad?

Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom (and how Government is taking that away from us). My fight, from a Conservative (with small "L" libertarian leanings) and evangelical Christian perspective, is with the Progressives that are forcing a collectivized and secular humanistic future upon us. As TEA Party activist, citizen journalist (and pundit!), my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture again.

    Wireless is definitely the way to go. I wish we had wireless in the dorms. All of the academic buildings and libraries on campus have wireless, but not the dorms. I’m hooked to the wall via the ethernet cord that is stretched across the room right now.

    The ‘Grok collegiate Dad is quite pleased with the above answer… :-)
    He would value wifi over beer any day… well wifi AND a beer?

    the ‘Grok collegiate Dad has fallen down on the job – time to buy the collegiate a wireless router and then show her how to “lock it down”…
