What's to come

I think that it's just a matter of time before textbooks in school become obsolete. All printed material will be "Kendallized" or some such fashion. Kids of tomorrow (or maybe even by this afternoon) will just have to bring their clipboard size tablets to school and be able to open up/tune in/turn to which ever page/book/subject is being taught. No more stuffed up messy desks. No more lugging home a back-pack full of books. I wish I could be a part of that. I'm trying to figure that out.

  1. So it sounds like you think going paperless is a good idea! Why do you support this? Do you see any drawbacks for this?

  2. Yes I do. When I see the kids desk's overstuffed with papers, when they can't find something in a folder because it's tucked in with everything else I can't wait to go paperless. It'll be awhile before such a mechanism will be able to act just like paper, that is being able to erase or whatever, but I do feel it will help with organization to have an all in one type of gadget.
