I just finished reading yet another article about a school getting iPads for its students to be able to do homework at night and get more information. It struck me that as time goes on articles like these become more and more prevalent. From the article about a kindergarten class starting off on the iPad, to high schools doing away with school books in favor of laptops. Just last school year out here, Indianapolis Public Schools are either in the process or have done away with learning cursive due to it not being used later on in life.

I consider myself young, only being 25, but all these articles are starting to bother me. It seems that books and basic skills will continue to be taken from school until students are so dependent on electronics they won't be able to function without them.

Am I the only one?
