Beam me up, Scottie

A few weeks ago, our professor in International Environmental Law held class via phone. I’m not sure if it was possible through Skype or it was a regular call. If it was the latter, it would have cost a bit because she was calling us from Hong Kong and was talking to us, save for a few interruptions, for most of the two-hour class. One classmate who came in late thought that it was a recording that we were listening to.

Maybe pretty soon, Dean Leonen would be using such technology to divide his time speaking in all those wonderful fora we are sponsoring at the College these days. Kinda like how Obi Wan and company communicated, which Gen X’ers, and even Baby Boomers, found so cool then.

CNN did just that and was extremely proud of being the first to do so when doing the coverage of the recent US elections.

Anyways, the point is that technology has come such a long way that what was considered fiction/fantasy are now rapidly turning into reality, even here at the College of Law.

Wow, we even have wi-fi outside of the library.
