Computer Wars II: The Saga Continues

By Colton Sierra ‘14

In my journeys across the land of which is Red Cloud High School a warrior computer triumphs over its toughest opponents (except for Room 228 which was the weakest link.)

Based on my exclusive survey of approximately 50 students, the “top dawg” computer in the school is The Chromebooks with 31% of students growing to love the little laptops in all their glory. In last place was the computer lab in Room 228 with zero votes. From my studies, 6% of students found themselves working best on Wendell’s iPads. Also, 18% of students found themselves in Aminah’s Room. Furthermore, The Downstairs Computer Lab (21% of students) and The Macbooks (24%) came in a close battle with The Macbooks edging by.

A couple of students had a few things to say about technology in our school. “We need to update Room 228 so that we can have two open computer labs if Aminah has a class,” said wise senior Melinda Bad Wound.

“If the Chromebooks aren’t open, then the Downstair Computer Lab is the best,” said senior Cece Two Lance. She is usually seen working in Aminah’s Room, but apparently she goes to the Downstairs Computer Lab for all of her work.

Senior Kirkland reports “The Macbooks are ugly and slow.”

“I like the environment in Aminah’s Room,” said senior Gabby Rodriguez, who only really likes Aminah’s Room for the feel of the keyboard.

There have been talks of the school getting new computers, but that has yet to be confirmed. As for the Computer Wars, The Chromebooks have prevailed, but if new computers come in for the next year, the battle will continue.
