I hated lugging textbooks home, taking a chromebook home would’ve been much easier.

    I am not a kid anymore and all my books are ebooks.

    I used to buy physical copies because I just love the way how they feel in my hands and the new paper smell until I ran out of space.

    Reality sucks.

    . This is the future. Some people hate it when I point it out but it is the truth. This is a digital age. Time moves forward with or with you. I encourage my nieces to get used to ebooks

    Instead of chromebook, get a big, hig res tablet with a stylus. It is a saver!

      I’m not lamenting technology being a thing. I’m lamenting how its adoption is hindering learning basic stuff like writing out all your work in pencil for math class. If everything is multiple choice quiz, they learn to work through the problem step by step or have the chance for partial credit by showing they understand the overall process even though they made a minor arithmetic mistake.

      Sure, a tablet and stylus for free-hand writing can solve that. But why add that additional cost of providing that to every student in primary school instead of just using pencil and paper for it?
