Laptop Instead of Books

If I were the superintendent of Oak Park and River Forest High School I would instead of books and all the papers that go to waste I would have all the kids using laptops.  This would cut down on the price we pay for all the books that not every classes uses them.  It is just a waste of money to have all the books.

It would also cut down on the amount of paper we waste.  With all the handouts and miscellaneous papers floating around in students backpacks and on the ground.  It would just be the more "Green" of us to switch to laptops.

This change would be expensive in the beginning but in the long run it would save money because we would cut down on the recycling bills and the price of all the books that just sit on the selves half the time.  This is also a good thing for the students with just caring the laptop it would be less weight on their backs.

Is Americas Dependence on Tecnology to Great ?

I think that Americas dependence on technology is to great. Now every thing you get needs something else to get a new gaming system to play on line you need a Internet port by your TV and to get the best quality of gaming you need a new high definition TV.

The reason I believe dependence on technology is to much is that hypothetical if televisions and computers went out people would have know idea what to do. don't get me wrong technology is a good thing but there are some things that are just unnecessary.

one example of unnecessary technology although pretty cool is the "ROSIE" coffee table. It is a computer in a coffee table in which you can download photos have direct links to i tunes order food while being cool its also so unnecessary how come someone couldn't get up and make a phone call or use there computer for there i pod.

some technology although seeming useful is just unnecessary and a waist of money
