For Your Entertainment

So I was sitting through my journalism block today and I kept thinking: what did kids do for entertainment during class before portable laptops?

I mean really. When you're not paying attention to your teacher (much), you can be "researching." And by "researching," I mean looking up stuff on Stumble Upon, reading up on BBC or EW or the Guardian or whatever to supplement that awesome internship you got. Or sending e-mails. Or playing Sporcle.

I don't always bring my laptop with me to classes, because it's not always worth the trouble of lugging the thing and the power chord with me everywhere. And last year, Sarah and I made do just fine during our News I class by playing an epic championship of the Box Dot Game. But seriously. Before laptops, how did kids sit through their boring college classes? I want to know. I would also like to thank Mac for creating my lovely little piece of tech heaven.
