Without Wireless: Universities of the Third World?



- Ciao Francesco! Come stai? Come procede l'Erasmus laggiù in Lituania?

- Bene grazie! Questo campus è modernissimo! Possiede ogni sorta di comfort per noi studenti... e pensa, abbiamo persino la rete wireless!

- Ah davvero!? Cavolo servirebbe anche a noi qua a Savona! Sai che comodità? Pensa che volevo addirittura scrivere un pezzo sul giornalino a riguardo.

- So good luck! When I tried to do something like I have prevented me with all your strength ... Unfortunately, the censorship was too strong!

Yes, dear students, feel free to outrage, to protest, to organize armed uprisings, or have heard your disagreement in the face of this disconcerting fact: in Lithuania, and I repeat, Lithuania, a country certainly not world famous for its wealth or its modernity, is a wireless network all'Univrsità fully accessible to students. Of course our modern campus, updated, technological and equipped with every tool possible to ensure the services would be useful to our learning, does not possess such a network, thereby preventing the full use of our laptop computers within the university walls. And why does this happen to us? Perhaps because our beloved region, nestled between mountains and sea, with its beautiful landscapes and beaches popular with tourists from all over Italy and beyond, has fallen behind technologically than other parts of the peninsula? Certainly not, as in Genoa many faculties have this service, and just move near their facilities have free access to the Internet only through the use of a serial number. This is outrageous, especially when it comes to a structure rebuilt from Savona on ancient ruins from a few years, this suggests a study in the most cutting-edge facility, but expectations are immediately frustrated after a few months of attendance. Economically, it should not pose problems: the design of an audio-visual laboratory has been successfully launched recently and this is to identify a relative or welfare or financial mismanagement of the finances available to it, what sense does it make available to equipment when these students do not have a public Internet connection? Certainly in the computer room there are a large number of PCs, but most were used allied intelligence durante lo sbarco in Normandia! Anche in biblioteca vi sono delle macchine decisamente più moderne, ma il loro numero è decisamente troppo esiguo per soddisfare e smaltire la gran affluenza di visitatori quotidiana. E poi, senza prese in giro, è chiaro che usare il proprio portatile per lavorare su progetti o simili, magari nelle ore di pausa tra le varie lezioni, è molto più pratico e comodo che usare computer comuni, in cui vengono accumulati progressivamente tutti i lavori dei vari utenti.

Per non parlare poi dei bistrattati residenti degli alloggi del Campus che, oltre a trovarsi spesso senza riscaldamento o in condizioni sgradevoli simili, devono approfittare degli orari Opening of library or computer lab to use the Internet, which often coincide with hours of lessons and therefore present a fundamental choice: continue to be part of this company using the web as a medium of communication, or follow the lesson for which you pay cream of money each year. Really good question! Counting the fact that for these unfortunate children internet access is impossible in the evening or on weekends, you can understand how it becomes difficult for them to be able to exploit this medium widespread and readily available everywhere. (Except to the campus, of course!)

The reasons for this glaring lack by the high spheres of the University are obviously unattainable and probably will not ever know, but this shows the growing callousness by those in power against those who daily lives within the four walls of Savona: if you are not interested in our ideas, problems and difficulties, I do not know how far you can honestly make this new teaching facility.
