Wireless computers are true tools that don't restrict my teaching or the layout of the room. When asked what he hoped the wireless environment would do for his mathematics students, Dr. David Fowler shared his perspective that this is part of a much larger pattern that dates back several hundred years. In the Middle Ages, a town owned one large clock, in the middle of the town. Later, wealthy people could own their own clock. Centuries passed, and today watches are free gift items for kids.
Time is now ubiquitous.
The same pattern is taking place with technology. Once only a few businesses owned computers, then wealthy schools set up computer labs. Soon, access to computing technology will be ubiquitous. Wireless computers will give us a good preview of the imminent age of ubiquitous computing.
