When I walked past the library this weekend, the scene I saw inside reminded me of an Apple commercial. At the table at the southwestern most corner of the first floor sat three people, all of whom were multitasking using two or more apple products. The first student was typing on his Macbook while listening to his iPod nano. A second was reading the paper on his iPad while listening to music on his iPhone. The third, the ultimate Apple multitasker, sat typing on his Macbook Pro while texting on his iPhone and reading his notes on his iPad. It seems that our university has developed a technological culture that revolves around Apple, as do many universities around the country. However, considering that PCs are still a more popular computer, it is interesting how common Apple computers are in education. I don’t know if it is because Apple products are good for educational purposes or that, since Apple products are relatively expensive, they are reserved for those who can afford them (who are often more highly educated).
