Chromebooks, scheduled to be distributed to every student in the coming school year (read more on lhsdoi.com), have become an integral part of the curriculum. The Chromebook results appeared the most drastic in regard to the amount of bacteria present. Anthony Milunas, a junior, has never feared germs. “I just feel like they are tiny enough that they don’t really affect me in the long run. I mean, I wash my hands after handling anything dirty so germs aren’t really a big deal, especially since Chromebooks aren’t that dirty.”
When shown the results of the germ cultivation for the Chromebook, his reaction seemed to change: “I use Chromebooks almost every day in one class or another and have never thought of them as germ-infested. That’s nasty. To be completely honest, I don’t know if I want to touch the Chromebooks tomorrow!” he exclaimed.
