<p>Lux:</p>
<p>The cost of computer technology is not in the supplying of computers to students but of maintaining mainframes, of supplying terminals in many places, and of having technical help for both students and faculty and staff. This means, in many cases, renovating classrooms to allow for powerpoint presentations, videos, slide projectors, etc… The typical classrrom is a far cry from what I experienced in college, where classrooms just had a blackboard and pieces of chalk. It also means technical help to create and maintain websites for most courses, to troubleshoot when something goes wrong. All of this is quite expensive.</p>
