If you are using the school districts wireless to listen to that music we have no choice....federal law we have to keep you safe from the internets. It's a felony if I know you are surfing 'bad' stuff and I don't stop you. But there is no real definition of what 'bad' is. It's a messed up situation.

Umm not true actually, they block music playing websites.. We're playing this music off our phone itself, the downloaded songs we have. What you then have is a good chance of a conspiracy. For example, if someone were to be listening to a band like The Beatles. I know The Beatles don't have any profanity, but you get a band like them and find a song that does have profanity, that would go viral... "Student told to change song while listening to ________!!"

And keep in mind that I mean even when we're wearing headphones they'll ask us what song we're listening to, it doesn't matter if anyone else can hear it. If they see you with headphones they *WILL* stop to ask what you're listening to and ask if there's profanity.

Back when I was senior if they saw you with a phone they took it.

Back when I was in school, the only people with cell phones were doctors, the rich kid with one mounted in his Iroc-Z and Zach Morris.

I think I was 21 or 22 when I got my first phone. It was a TracFone and I paid like $1.00/min.

As they should, we do to. We also block You Tube for students. Just can't afford the bandwidth so we do our best to reserve it for education related items.

.... no computers in HS!

When I took Computer Science at Michigan State we used punch cards. Had to walk to the the computer center and sit there and write our programs (fortran) on punch cards then hand them in so the computer techs could feed them into the computer.

Same here at SDSU.

The year I graduated from HS, the Hamilton Pulsar (the first digital watch) came out. It used LEDs, showed hours, minutes and seconds and cost $2,100 (about $11,400 in today's dollars).

In college, pocket calculators were big. A TI Scientific cost about $125.
