The James Logan Courier

By Tawab Fakhri, Courier Staff Writer

Technology grows more advanced everyday. This progress is seen everywhere from our homes to our cell-phones- especially our cell phones. With models like Apple’s iPhone, or Verizon’s Voyager, people have become more connected than ever. With a simple connection to a hotspot or router, the internet can be at one's fingertips easily. However this freedom dies instantly when students step onto Logan's campus, which lacks a wi-fi connection for students and staff.

Security cameras are being installed at various points around the James Logan campus. The Courier asked students what they thought about the new campus surveillance


“I think it’s useless. What will they catch, nothing? I think they should use the money for more extra curricular activities rather than security.”







“If the camera doesn’t bother me, I won’t bother it. I really don’t care.”









“ I feel like it will not help the school because the students are too slick.”

"I don't let myself set a snooze on my alarm, and I put my alarm across the room," Caputa said.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — With four children under the age of 5, James Currier had lots of questions about sniffles, rashes and fevers. One late night, while holding a sick child in his lap, he tried searching for answers online.

"I was shocked," Currier said. "I couldn't find anything easy to read, explanatory and credible, that wasn't covered with pharmaceutical ads or Botox commercials."
