Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other, and paining(疼痛) too. In India, most of us would look at the reduction(减少) of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called Goreader has created a “school bag” which is the size of a laptop computer, weighing about 2.5kg. The Goreader has a colour screen and can “hold” all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in “The Asian Age” newspaper.
The company plans to work closely with the publishers of test books so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to download their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.
At present, the plan is being tested out in a
university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of the company is having his creation
tested at Chicago’s DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is
goodbye to the newspaper, and the smell of the black 
ink?
