Goodbye books and notebooks

Hiya Captain The Indian governement has come up with a project called Akash where there are giving away tablet pcs @ 3000.00 INR (about 60USD). These are being manufactured in collaboration with a Canada based Indian Firm(I dont know what that means) by the name Ubislate. I have booked one from Ubislate too (after seeing those adverts) but dont know when they will be shipping. Even the Support Number on their website doesnt work. But it is a Government Initiative and No Payments from me or anyone need to be made before they deliver. Anyways, the future is definitely the Tablet PCs and it is going to happen whether I like that or not. Personally, I would still prefer to read the traditional books rather than the PDF versions on the tablet or anywhere.

Yes, those time tablets computers can really be a lot of help to students. It would eliminate the need to bring those books in school, thereby causing them back pains in the future. But then, not everybody can afford those. Besides, with books they can hand it down to those who will be entering the same grade again.

I think that a tablet can be a good replacement for books, but not sure at all that it is a good replacement for notebooks, due to the lack of a keyboard. I have some school notebooks from my grand parents : they don't need batteries to run and are not very sensible to failures, so they are still technically better than tablet computers.

Still those book is useful and not all students in the world can do afford that.Computer notebook can be useful but the most will be bad for students if there is games.and others things.It is okay if the computer only lesson for students and if there is games and other students will forget to study and addict on that....

I don't know if I would trust students with personal tablets. I remember back when my school used a set of shared laptops to students and ... well, there was a lot of damage to them over the course of that short-lived event. Granted, I think it's kind of an amazing alternative to lugging around a ton of books or having to frequently go and switch out books for different ones. I'm just not sure of how many times students will end up breaking or severely damaging their tablets over the course of having them.

I remember during the presidential election campaign, this was one of the platforms of one aspiring candidate that students be provided with tablet computers or e-books in order to reduce the number of notebooks and books that kids bring to school. However, this does not seem a feasible idea for the country, since some families cannot even afford to buy notebooks, so how much more for tablet computers. If they will be provided to the students for free, the government will not certainly afford the cost. When I was in high school, the university I studied in allowed us to use the binders to reduce the weight of the bags that we carry. Enrolling in the more prestigious schools can be beneficial as long as we can afford it. They give the benefit of a higher standard of education with the best technological equipment, however, only a minority can ever have that privilege.

i think traditions are meant to help and support people at the time of there need. If something good is happening to the society as a whole and traditions are coming in the way of it i thing we should have the guts to discard. I think however silly elders speek of back packs i think it's not that silly for the kids carrying it and tablet computers are a real good and optimistic alternative. I think we should all support the cause.

we must follow the tradition, if we are living in the age of technology we can apply at any possible place. because technology gives advancement, but one day this all will goes in vain then these books will come into play again so we do not forget the basics
