Technology
In August 2001, OC became one of the few college campus nationwide at that time to provide campus-wide wireless Internet service and a personal laptop computer to every full-time student. In 2008 Oklahoma Christian University began providing Apple’s MacBook to all full-time students and faculty. Included with each MacBook is the choice of an iPhone or an iPod touch. Beginning with the fall 2010 semester, students also have the option of choosing an iPad for an additional charge.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“Our technology forces us to live mythically, but we continue to think fragmentarily, and on single, separate planes.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“Primitive peoples tried to annul death by portraying the human body—we do it by finding substitutes for the human body. Technology instead of mysticism!”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
