I remember my days at the University of Connecticut where we learned about the latest in technology in buildings that were fit for prisoners. That may be a bit harsh but before I left a new engineering was built – UTEB for United technologies Engineering Building. It was amazing equipped with state of the art SUN workstations instead of a decades old mainframe. It even had air conditioning – which was a big step up from most of the other buildings I had classes in.<\/p>\n

By the way — the UCONN campus is beautiful now – it looks like a country club compared to what us old-timers saw.<\/p>\n

But even UCONN can’t hold a candle to the school of the future<\/font><\/a> – 750 lucky Philadelphia students are able to take advantage of a state of the art facility with a MERU Networks wireless LAN and even self-flushing toilets.<\/p>\n

Microsoft partnered with the 278 school District of Philadelphia<\/a> to make this a reality. Hats off to MSFT and the forward looking Philly educational district.<\/p>\n

I sincerely hope this school generates tremendous buzz and other schools are built that are even more advanced.<\/p>\n

It is time for the US educational system to be the best in the world and a nation that invests in its schools shows the next generation of students how important education is and just as importantly how import technology is to this country’s future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
