It's almost mandatory to have a laptop for collage or university. I should know because two of my sisters are currently attending their first year at collage. It's amazing how much money is put into alot of usless things. In one of the videos posted on the Media Central blog, they mentioned spending a huge amount of money on books that they barely or never use. It's rediculous because the books that the college students buy are hundreds of dollars and do they use them that often? No, even my sister who is attending collage for Nursing said that she barely uses them. So why are we paying huge amounts of money for something that we never use?
I honestly disagree that technology will improve or make things easier. With technology growing, we will barely have time to keep up with the advancements "needed" in schools. Every year, things change, technology grows and more jobs are needed. But how can we keep up if all this technology is taking over the use of books and notebooks? We have programs that read to us, how much is our education going to change if everything is computerized?
Although it's easier and faster, i'd rather be smarter by actually learning then just to have it right in front of me on a screen.You're better off smart than stupid.

I think it all comes down to who has the technology and how are they going to use it in the classroom. Anything can be used for good or bad. It all depends upon how it is used.
