Technology
Considered one of the most technologically advanced colleges in the nation (in the year 2001) for its ThinkPad program and wireless technology initiative, the college recently became the first in the nation to comprehensively replace all phones in residence halls with individual cellular phones for students.
On June 21, 2007, Morrisville State College announced the world's first large-scale implementation of a draft 802.11n wireless network. The "n" radios were scheduled to be deployed in late September that year, roughly six weeks after the start of the fall semester. In the meantime, the campus will place a/b/g access points across campus.
The campus Computer Services department deployed Lenovo T420 to new students and others that qualify. Windows 7 is currently being deployed as the base operating system.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“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)
“Our technology forces us to live mythically, but we continue to think fragmentarily, and on single, separate planes.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
