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:
“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)
“One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
