Each generation has their own problems. I remember when I was in elementary/high school, the "problem" was kids having to chug loads of text books and how it was bad for their backs. This solves that.

As a parent, I rather get my kid a laptop than an iphone which I see far too often. Whether you like it or not, computers are part of our lives now (similar to how a tv was part of ours). It's up to parents to help provide them a balance by having them participate in sports and what not. Relying on the school system to do that is just lazy parenting.
