Recently we had a holiday, or at least it felt like one, edSurge reports. Apple released its new operating system. The students knew it was being released at 1pm EDT which was during their lunch, so many ate early and were stationed in various WiFi nodes to “try to get the best signal” to download the new update. At 12:57 some person in California hit the switch three minutes early and you could hear the noise ripple through the building. These students are already connected. But there are students who are not. The most obviously disconnected students don’t have phones or WiFi. They don’t have the technology in their hands because they don’t have it at home. Many are just glad to get a meal and having a cell phone is not high on the priority list for their family…
