Tune In Tomorrow For Inspector Gadget

Posted on Feb 26, 2007 by Jane Goodwin at 12:05 am

Today in class, I took my students to the computer lab.  Two gentlemen from the college’s computer division had come down to the regional campus to show the students how to use the campus computer and email systems.

After the demonstrations, I was talking to these men and the subject of communication among the dozens of regional campuses of our college came up.

“Most institutions of any kind have computer slideshows in the lobby or waiting room areas, but there are no two alike.  Wouldn’t it be cool if all of our campuses had some kind of monitor in the lobby, with slideshows of various campuses, classrooms, etc. so that a student in the northern part of the state could see what the campus was like in the middle or southern part of the state?  A wireless monitor that would show the same thing in each lobby?”

“You can,” I said.

And I took them to Inspector Gadget’s Fox segment about wireless digital picture frames.  The two men were impressed.

“Someone at the main campus could set up, change, and display the content of the wireless picture frame in multiple campus lobbies?  One person pushes a button, and multiple picture frames are programmed and showcasing the same things?”

“Yes.”

“Colleges everywhere could really use something like that!” they said.

Tune in tomorrow, and you can see the Inspector Gadget segment that so impressed a large college’s two biggest computer geeks.
