[QUOTE="Fuerza, post: 11404396, member: 19948"] Looks like Apple is making its way from the music business to the textbook business. [url=http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-apple-20120120,0,4561988.story]Apple sets out to transform textbooks - latimes.com[/url] I kind of have mixed feeling on this. I love the use of new technology in class rooms. I think we American's need to push our kids harder to be more educated for a better America. As a parent I want my kid to be as smart as possible and use any and all things to enhance his learning. On the flip side to this, I remember some of the shit heads I went to school with, tearing up textbooks ect. Also the idea of a parent having to shell out 500 dollars for a iPad for their kid seems a little much. I mean, I personally could afford it, but I know there are families out there that can't. So my question is this, if we do enter a world of digital text books who picks up the bill for all these devices for kids to use? Who is held responsible for when they are dropped or damaged? Your thoughts? :read: :iPad: :-p [/QUOTE]
