Ipads might soon replace textbooks in schools

http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2012/jan/19/new-ipad-app-digital-textbooks-excites-county-scho/


Advantages as I see

1. students need not have to carry heavy loads of books to schools
2. students might find it much convenient
3. learning will be revolutionised by replacement of written text by multimedia texts
4. saving paper ...lot of trees need not be cut



Disadvantages

1. Paper industry, text book industry will suffer.. lakhs of jobs will be affected
2. accumulation of e waste need to be managed
