When something major happens, such as Pluto's no longer being considered a regular planet, print textbooks containing the changes may take ten years to get into print, whereas the change, using ebooks, can be automatically sent to everyone who has bought the textbook. Also, it will reduce the incredibly heavy load that students and teachers have to carry around. My doctor once weighed my bookbag to see why I had a chronic inflammation of the left shoulder, and found that it weighed 86 pounds! This can reduce costs of textbooks and increase profits at the same time. I'm all for it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anne Wingate]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 24th 2007 6:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The $100 Laptop Goes Into Production]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/07/23/the-100-laptop-goes-into-production/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/07/23/the-100-laptop-goes-into-production/</guid><description><![CDATA[it shouldcost less than $ 100 - using flash drives]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[william]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 23rd 2007 6:44PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The $100 Laptop Goes Into Production]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/07/23/the-100-laptop-goes-into-production/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/07/23/the-100-laptop-goes-into-production/</guid><description><![CDATA[The headline is more than a little misleading as the $100 laptop is actually $175 according to the body of the story.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 23rd 2007 7:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The $100 Laptop Goes Into Production]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/07/23/the-100-laptop-goes-into-production/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/07/23/the-100-laptop-goes-into-production/</guid><description><![CDATA[still could be useful to blog from or something; like on a lunchbreak or something. wouldn't you rather lose 100$ then a more expensive laptop?
