Technology and its downside

According to some website that I stumbled upon (don't remember which), internet usage in the law school classroom is being prohibited at some schools. The article mentions that students tend to surf the web instead of paying attention in class. Duh! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Some schools even claim that students were surfing porn in the classroom. Now that's just funny. That takes some balls. I guess the big question becomes "Should internet usage be allowed in classrooms?" Why not? If someone wants to whack his willie instead of taking notes, then that's his choice. At least I, by paying attention, will likely get a better grade than that student. The internet is often useful during class. It allows me to quickly look up a case in one of the online legal databases if it is mentioned but not covered in class. It also gives me the opportunity to quickly look up those crazy legalese terms that never seem to make sense. I won't be a happy camper if they disallow internet usage in my classroom.
