Tablets were ALWAYS used in my university. They've been used as a too for education for over ten years! Oh, right, ever since Apple "invented" the small, light, and useless tablets, the real ones vanished out of existence!

Textbooks are much better because all people will do is play games. Anyway i am a college student and use a laptop which is way better then a tablet. I got myself a sick macbook pro that would demolish any tablet in terms of what can be done. Also it isn't that big either. However everyone with an electronic device in my classes all they do is play games.

Yay! - Hi, I'm Apple - here to promote and encourage socially inept behaviours in the classroom.

So, instead of getting outside to play sport and making friends, our kids will end up fat and need glasses at the age of 10..

So many of us got through school and university without one, why do we need it now??

Not completely tablets it can be used in the labs and some subjects but it can never replace textbooks (theft,missuse(porn in the classroom),etc.) the students will be completely into tabs and it can effect the eyes too parents would hav a tough time..
