The company that I work for has a large, very nice flat panel LCD monitor in its training area. (It has to be at least 11" by 20-25".) Do you know what it uses it for? To post the room assignments for the training seminars. It makes me sick that they get such a cool toy when all they use it for is to emulate a $20 cork board.
I'm sure this monitor is marketed at the same group of people: suits who want the coolest new toy, have money to burn, and will have no idea what to do with it once they buy it.
It seems like every few years the schools get really hyper about something and seem to think that it affects every kid. ADHD anyone? I remember a few years back a friend of the family was accused of sexually abusing his children just because one of his kids liked to draw belly buttons on her pictures. Violence is the "in" thing this year and, unfortunately, some innocent people are going to be affected. It can be difficult to make people aware of an emotionally charged issue without causing them to overreact.
