Dear me, haven't we been here = before.

Remember when multimedia CD Roms were going to = transform learning, then the web. And yet we still have books. Indeed we will = still have books in 2020 because unless someone comes up with a =A350 ebook reader = which also connects to the internet and lasts at least 10 hours on a charge, = saves work on a network and can be written and stored on...books will still be = a cheaper more viable option.

I guarantee that once the Apple iTablet is launched = we'll have same stories from Apple's corp of believers that it will transform learning just like the ipod was going to. Or Cd Roms. At least one = Academy will equip every kid with one and be a press darling until their results come out.
