The Fischbowl: Why Wireless?

I don't see why people are causing such a fuss about the school using wireless and making it available to the students. It gives them more access to information that will help them in class. What would be the sense in a teacher printing out an article and making hundreds of copies to pass out all of his/her classes, when it is so much better to allow the students to access it over the internet themselves? It's not like the teacher would just leave the room and let the students do whatever they want. It also teaches the students to have responsibility and be more mature. If they have to keep themselves on task then they are more likely to do well in the future.
If teachers continue to teach students and prepare them for what life was like when the teacher was their age, then no progress will be made. As the author notes, teachers should be teaching and preparing students for what life will be like in the future.
