1. Some think the Ipad is just a gadget toy...
They have no clue how it will change how it will change the way we will learn.

3. Maybe I'm just old but
Do I really need a 500 $ base price reader to read a book?
Nope.

4. Well, if you watch the video,
you'll see why the iPad (or any technological equivalent) can do things a book can't even dream of.

Books will always have their place, I think. But these kinds of things are where devices like the iPad will revolutionize learning.
