What to do?

Benedictine University in Springfield needs to have better computers. If we can get the Sr. Beata Scholarship Ball to help Fund-A-Project, like some updated computers, maybe this year they could help the Communications Department. We could always get an independent fundraiser going like an annual fundraising event to help the school or the Communications Department. There are so many ideas that BEN-U in Springfield, IL has, but there really has been no work done. These blogs are all ideas, so comment please.

***The Sr. Beata Scholarship Ball is held each spring. This year its on April 16, 2011.***

I have recently been doing some research on the Mac computers and how technology has evolved. Computers these days are not as big as the early Windows computers or Dell computers. The newer models of computers are smaller and now computers do not even have an mouse or a keyboard. The latest trend in computers are the iPad, its like carrying around a notebook or a book.
Mac computers have ''the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors — up to 2.66GHz. That’s a lot of power from such a small computer. It means that applications fly, and you can run more of them at the same time.'' Computers are made to be smaller and are a lot faster because people cannot stand waiting 15 minutes to download a certain type of program. ''Every Mac mini comes with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, an operating system custom-designed for the advanced technology inside. Built on a rock-solid UNIX foundation and designed to be simple and intuitive, it’s what makes the Mac innovative, highly secure, compatible, and easy to use.''
I don't think Benedictine University in Springfield needs to give students new iPads, but we need better computer technology. The school should consider getting newer computers because the Dell computers across the campus are outdated, and don't have the necessary programs available that students are required to know in the work force. Better computers could lead to better education at BEN-U in Springfield, IL.
