Laptops in Classrooms

I noticed it in my writing class this semester, students who didn't do their writing or reading of other people's scripts, would fire up their laptops and search the web.

I myself have yet to use wireless in cafe's or at school. I'm too lazy and get too frustrated trying to set it up on my old Sony Laptop. If it just worked magically like Apple seems to be able to do, perhaps I'd be more inclined.
