Yes I added an extra "R" in the title just for fun, but you know how I do homeboy. Furthermore I realize I should be hiding with my kids, wife, and husband, but I found a computer in my hiding cave. Some might realize this meme reference, but for those who were living in/under a rock check out this
video and this
video after. So now for the real topic of discussion - Why do our school systems insist upon a more expensive, less green, and more painful way of education! Technology is here and we should use! 50% of students experience back pains by the time their 18, and studies show this is caused by text books! Yes the culprit is text books; who woulda thunk it! Furthermore high school textbooks cost an average of $80, while e-books cost 1/3 the price! See where I'm going with this? Yeah, e-readers for high schools! Personally I think this what needs to happen in the near future-
1. E-Readers are becoming relatively inexpensive, some costing a little more than an actual textbook
2. E-Books are much cheaper and therefore will save money in future
3. Search for text, highlight, take notes
4. No more lost or stolen books
5. Students can't say they forgot their book in their locker
6. No more back pain!
