Caught in the web: The case against laptops in the classroom
So what are you doing during class? Surfing Facebook or listening to the professor and engaging in the class? Chances are that if you are using a laptop during class, you are probably surfing the Internet instead of being engaged in the class. Some professors allow laptops in class, some ban them. There are many [...]
Nintendo, Sony and iOS: handheld games
When Nintendo cut the price of the 3DS by 32 percent last July, just four months after the console’s release and lukewarm reception, some felt ready to proclaim dedicated handheld gaming dead and name the smartphone as killer. Nintendo has survived a number of misled technological gambles—released in 1995, the Virtual Boy was [...]
At least one person on a phone every effin’ moment of dinner
On Monday, over dinner with friends, junior Emmett Tillamook came to the realization that not a minute passed without one friend of his looking at a phone. The epiphany was followed a further feeling of disconnection with his fellow humans. The dinner, which occurred on the second story of the S.U.B., began with actual human [...]
Child’s Play, a unique Seattle-based charity provides video games for hospitalized children
A ny child of the 90s who’s worth his weight in Pogs will remember those sleepless winter nights, the Christmas Eves whose distant, golden mornings promised Gameboys, Pokemon cards and Super Mario. Those of us who still harbor warm memories of the games that shaped our childhood do well to pass on that joy to [...]
Technology imposes social isolation
In 1960s America, social interaction was an art form, a discipline nurtured during one’s prepubescent years through to the end of adolescence. These formative years focused on equipping people with the necessary social skills that would allow them to survive and thrive as human beings and as members of society. However, the evolution of technology [...]
‘Minecraft’ set for official re-release
At a convention in Las Vegas on Nov. 18 or 19, a Swedish game developer will announce the “release” of a game that has already sold nearly 4 million copies, earned a “big pile of awards” (developer’s words) and assembled a devout fanbase as dedicated to the game’s growth as its creators—Mojang’s “Minecraft.” “Minecraft” is [...]
Casual gaming thrives as popular entertainment
Assuming you have had any amount of spare time since the late 90s, you have probably logged more than a couple of hours in simple simulations of matching jewels, numbered minefields, virtual crops and cattle or (most likely) green pigs and fowl-flinging slingshots. The upstart industry of “casual gaming” continues to enthrall the masses, mystify [...]
Admissions redesigns website to target new students
When the layout of the Puget Sound website changed almost two years ago, this prompted more departmental changes from within the University. The admissions office has been working on redesigning their webpage that is targeted towards admitted students. Four years ago, when the current seniors were deciding to attend Puget Sound, there was a discussion [...]
Phishing torments webmail
Phishing scams have become an increasing problem for Technology Services and students using Puget Sound’s webmail. Lack of awareness and caution make students vulnerable to these scams, which when responded to, can compromise a student’s webmail account as well as the University’s reputation. “There has been an increase in the number of phishing scam messages [...]
Technology services unleashes the beast
Exciting. Groundbreaking. Not usually words you associate with Puget Sound’s online presence, right? Technology Services is trying to change that with a flurry of new services and tools, some of which are already available to students. SoundNet, a private Puget Sound Internet portal that links together traditional services like Webmail and Moodle in a new, [...]
