Whats with the Total Traffic Control at the schools?

I go to tech and noticed that everything is starting to get blocked myspace and other sites. I know what some of you are going to say you should be studying and this and that. But listen some of us students have four or five hours blocks in between classes where we go to the computer lab. You say I should do my work well what if you work requires me to look up a job and so I go to andersonindependentmail.com to look one up and then its BLOCKED!!! My manager is sick I want to send her a yahoo greeting card to wish her well and its BLOCKED I would like to sit the record straight for we students. We are in college there are people here who are old enough to be my grandparents and your treating us like we are in high school not all sites need to be blocked. I mean not all of us live on myspace. They are trying to control us and what we do when we pay all that tuition. So if there are any HELPFUL suggestions then please reply and to the people who say you should be studying i have a 3.6 GPA

Contrary to what you may think, they are not doing it to “control you”. They block things to protect their computers and network security. They also do it to protect themselves against lawsuits.

No filtering program is perfect, so if you have a site you think should be unblocked send a note to the administrator explaining why and they will consider it.

Hi. Calm down. This is not an evil plot to suppress your normal activities. Fact is, computer technology is not self-scaling and capacity is not infinite. I teach at a college that sounds quite similar to the one you attend, and we have had serious problems with internet service because there’s so much super-high bandwidth stuff available nowadays. When the internet cafe is full of students playing online games and watching youtube videos and downloading tunes for their Ipods, our rather vigorous transmission lines can get bogged down and our essential functions can grind to a halt.

So far no one on our campus has had anything blocked, but we have had to install extra trunk lines to carry the load. If demand keeps increasing, eventually we’ll be clamping down on some internet access as well–the only other option is to have students getting disconnected from Blackboard in the middle of an online test or some other casualty to our core mission.

Bottom line; no such thing as a free lunch. Get internet on your home computer, or go for lunch at Panera or somewhere that offers a free wireless hub–then you can get what you want because you’ll be paying for it (your tuition, if you didn’t think, actually does NOT cover entertainment nor personal communication capacity).
