Beautiful days, bright sunshine and WiFi.Posters advertising for Lakehead University depict young academics, undoubtedly polishing their thesis, on laptop computers in the vast wilderness of 'The North.
Conversely, I am struggling to pump out a few sentences for myself, on the deck beside the pool. Still I have to wonder, first how do they have connectivity (as Lakeheads president refuses to allow WiFi on campus siting a single, poorly rooted American study that acknowledge its results as inconclusive), and second...How can they see their monitor?
Despite technological advancements, robots on mars, rovers under the sea, high-speed and wireless networks, my computer monitor..and every monitor for that, seems to be designed to maintain the computer nerd stereotype. Pale and emaciated basement dwellers who fear the sun.
Please...Internet head my call and spread the message. We are ready to go outside. You have freed us from the wired age and provided us will mobile solutions...now just let me see the screen.
