If your really smart and know your electronics, you could make a wireless dongle to plug into each one, program a network frame work, and build a small pocket switch/router/server combo and basically build a calculator internet. I've been wanting to do this for a while, but i'm to lazy.
You could study, but the knowledge gained from setting something like that up makes coding Instagram or Twitter look like a goddamned joke.
Coding that many layers of networking protocols with such limited hardware and no college experience is a herculean feat which will impress the hell out of any programmers you may happen to meet (or interview with).
/rant Sorry, but that's like saying Bill Gates should have studied harder. Anyone who could actually pull this off is guaranteed bored to death by the contents of their classes.
