My 4-year-old daughter studies at a good school in Ahmedabad. She is in a nursery. When she goes to school, I feel something strange when I see the size and weight of her school bag. To be honest, I don't know how to describe it, but it's definitely not good. I once made her sit inside her school bag and she fit right in. Her school bag weighs 7 kg, while she weighs 14 kg. The bag contains so many notebooks, all essential, so there is no chance of forgetting anything at home. Something similar happened to me as well.
Yes, I am sure life will change. In the next few years. That time is coming. I believe that in a few years, all these kids will be carrying Tablet PCs instead of notebooks in their school bags - like an iPads. All the notebooks, syllabus, and much more will be preloaded on the Tablet PC. And every year, the kids will be able to buy all this online for the new school year's curriculum. They will be able to do all their schoolwork and homework on one Tablet PC. They will only need a Tablet PC for all their exams.
Kids (and their parents too) will be able to do everything through the Tablet PC - videos, mock tests, discussions (chatting) with teachers and classmates - all through one secure Tablet PC.
With these thoughts in mind, I spent a good amount of time looking at Tablet PCs at the Dubai airport yesterday, and today I am presenting these thoughts here.
Just a few years from now.........
