Technology
Rye Country Day School adopted a "Laptop Program" in 1999 "to make the information processing power of the computer available to students whenever and wherever needed. Students in grades 7–12 are required to have a laptop computer (either Windows or Apple operating systems) and funding is provided to support this requirement. These students use a campus-wide wireless network. Students in 6th grade and below use the computer labs that are located in the Lower, Middle, and Upper school. Smart Boards are used in every classroom.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“Our technology forces us to live mythically, but we continue to think fragmentarily, and on single, separate planes.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
“Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
