Steve plugging in his thoughts
We live in a world filled with technology. Everywhere you look you are connected. There are cell phone and Wi-Fi signals ripping through our bodies no matter where we are. But sometimes things get left out of the technological loop.One of those things that has been left out of the technological age of destruction in which we are currently residing happens to be within the cafeteria lobby.
Now I am sure that at some point you have had yourself a delicious wrap made by the good folks over in the cafeteria and run into this outlandish problem. Wait a second, I didn't tell you what it was yet, did I?
There is a giant lack of AC/DC power. I am "thunderstruck" at the lack of plugs that are available. When I have my wrap, I end up trudging slowly throughout the lobby making sure I am not kicking out, or stepping on anyone's laptop cords. But that isn't always the easiest thing for someone who can be a little clumsy. I'm not saying I smashed my head into the table earlier this semester while trying to adjust my sock while sitting in a chair that had wheels on the bottom, but I did.
I haven't really thought the logistics through on having power within the tables because all I can see myself doing is dropping my 40 ounces of Pepsi mixed with root beer on the table and ending up with some silly saying on my tombstone as I am filled with 1.21 jiggowatts of pure unadulterated electric. But it has to have been done; people go to Starbucks and plug in. I am actually guessing about that part about Starbucks because I have never been in one, but when I imagine the Starbucks "scene" that is kind of how it plays out in my mind.
So I believe this article is really mostly about me pleading to school officials in some way to realize that some of your students are clumsy. But I would hate to have my laptop, or another person's laptop be damaged in some way, shape or form by clumsy feet. Let's get the plugs closer to the people that will be using them.
