Wow you were able to buy books for classes that you were not signed up for. I would have loved to be allowed to do that. There is a local collage book store by my house (5 minute drive) and they do not allow anyone who is not a student, or a student for the particual class to buy the book.
That's the point. The whole iPad thing is not a 100 solution to any problem. Physical books will still have to be around although getting them I feel with be more of a stuggle.
When I was growing up I would read my brothers text books and reading assignments when he wasn't around, he was/is 4 year ahead of me. I'd suprise him with a quiz when he got back. I can still remember when I picked up his Kurt Vonnegut book Cat's Cradle at 8 years old and thought how crazy ice nine was. I guess future siblings will never get the chance to see what the future of there education will be. Also by the time I reached that grade they didn't use that book anymore.
It's a shame to see what everyone will be missing.
I agree with you I have tried both 10 inch tablets and 7 inch tables and my 4 inch phone and I can't stand reading off of them. So the question is what if the student doesn't want to go paperless? Or what if the student doesn't want to use Apple products at all, like me I'm a MS software kind of guy been that way since 1987. Please don't mod me down for that.
Power companies are putting in smart meters that will allow them to turn off your power at their command for unpaid bills but the kicker is that they also will be allowed to turn off your air conditioner when they think it's best for them do to so. Forget if you have an old person living with you that can't take the heat outside. http://tucsoncitizen.com/wryheat/2013/02/18/tep-wants-to-control-your-air-conditioner-this-summer/
They may not be ramped up in making them yet with getting the supply chain going and such but the run on the stores when they were going out of business I wonder how many people are not worried now that they are back.
What about the blind people that have no retinas? What will they do? So other forms of identification will still have to be used anyway. I'm not kidding either. I have worked with the blind.
I'm probably going to sound like a shill but I'm not. I've been in the Microsoft World my entire life. They have a lot of tools (in a lot of cases free) to help people learn it's just that you have to find them.
If you can go the Hypter-V route microsoft will soemtimes have preloaded virtual machines that have everything configured and ready to learn off of. can't find my links for the ones in the past I've used but once you keep up to date with the other resources you see.
If a reactor can't win on the first try what will? I haven't followed these kid shows in a long time but I wonder what won over this in the show he lost in.

It looks like all they did was take a smart car and make it bendable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_(automobile)

My point is that I'm just commenting on what the future of an excuse will be not if the person should know how to work their equipment.
So true. Also what about visual impared people who will not be able to use the equipment. Exceptions would/will have to be made.

or "The battery ran out and I forgot my charger" or better "The cloud was down so I couldn't save it"
Other than the chess club what other club activities did it do?

No wonder my craps game always comes up snake eyes.

I really hate seeing the oils of my skin on the screen.
Yep.
Who else when reading the title thought it was an article for Raspberry Pi's Fish Pi? http://fishpi.org/
Since Google killed it I am keeping my eyes open for the my next smart watch for when this one dies. If it can even do half of what my motoactv can do it end up being my next smartwatch. http://www.motorola.com/us/consumers/8GB-or-16GB-MOTOACTV/79070,en_US,pd.html
Maybe it's internal telephone tech support?

go to http://borntolearn.mslearn.net/
To learn about not only classes and books to get certified but also free videos on what the exams use.
And the FREE tools. Some are time limited from 90 or 180 days. You can get free copies of Hyper-V ( http://blogs.technet.com/b/keithmayer/archive/2013/04/05/getting-started-with-hyper-v-server-2012-hyperv-virtualization-itpro.aspx#.UbH21efI58E ) , Free Copies of Windows 8 (90 days), Server 2012 (180 days http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/evaluate/trial-software.aspx ), Free copies of SQL Server 2012 ( http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/get-sql-server/try-it.aspx ), and so on. All you need to do is provide a machine to run them on. I have the free Hyper-V running free copies of windows 8, server 2012, and Sql server for my learning environment. Sure they are timed and you have to start over every so often but who cares it just gets easer sinc eyou know what you are doign the secord/thrid time around or you can also use the free virtual labs at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/virtuallabs

I can only hope that it's a sequel and not a reboot.

Does this mean that they put the sinks outside the bathrooms?

I was once told that to be able to tell how smart a dog is just throw a blanket over it. The faster it gets out from under it the smarter it is.
