SmartDesks?

A respondent from my current poll on ask500people writes:

If each desk had a keyboard and screen, you could just plug in your phone/computer and start working. That would be very convenient.


What a great idea. Why spend the money on $700 - $1500 on laptops for each student when we could just buy a $100 monitor and a keyboard / mouse for each desk. The student then just plugs in his or her phone and goes online.

  1. What are we talking here? Using student supplied cell phones as modems for internet access?

    My wife's business has thin clients. Nothing is actually stored on the desktop machine. Everything is done from a server? Is that what we're talking about?
