My Ideal Technological University

Through my development of a recent illness, I had an epiphany about what my ideal technological university would consist of. Because I have been sick, it has been so hard for me to get out of my dorm room to go to class. I think the university would be better if it had some system of videotaping or using a webcam in each of the classrooms for students to be able to view the class lecture. If I could sit in the comfort of my own dorm room and watch the lecture, I would be able to keep up with the class without missing it due to illness.

The university also needs a system of delivering food to the dorm rooms of people who are sick. I think there should be a system where I can go online and enter in my student ID number, so that meal could still come from my meal plan. If I could sit in my room and look at the menu and chose what I wanted, I should be able to have a friend or someone pick up the food and deliver it to my room for me. 

If the university employed both of these techniques, then there would be less illness in the university. If sick people didn't have to travel to areas such as the dining hall, where tons of students go through each day, then there would be less oppurtunity for people to transmit diseases to other students.
