“Al Gore Should Schools be Wired to the Internet” written by VP Al Gore is bout how every child in school should be able to use a computer whether wealthy or poor, because not a luxury any more it is more like a necessity. Because now and days a lot of more jobs and things require technology, Since the year 2000 60% of all jobs will require technology skills. That is why n this article it says that people should learn how to use a computer before hand while they are young. The Education Department reports that students with computer classes outperform their peers on an average of 30%. The E-Rate program gives great discounts to schools and libraries, with the highest discounts to the neediest communities. They made this program to make computers and technology to let everyone any race or income can have a equal chance to learn and succeed, so we can all be prepared for the future. “New iPod Rules Touch off heated debate” a new policy from the University of Missouri require new students to carry an iPhone, iPod Touch. This situation is happening a lot around the united states, where colleges or schools want the students to carry these devices so they can interact with them and the academics together. Even though the schools do not benefit financially from these Apple devices, they do get 10% discount on Apple devices; dell and other brands offer the same deal as well. Teachers state that this will help also save classroom time by having the students listen to lectures or watch educational videos while walking to gym or somewhere else rather than wasting time on doing it in the classroom. It also states that just the cost of an iPhone is just about as equal as buying textbooks needed for class, but they can get an iPhone instead and read the chapter off of that.
