Good Things Come in Small Packages

inches(Apple iPad), 7 inches(Samsung Galaxy Note) or the recently evolved 5 inch phablet, they’re pretty great for holding vast stores of information in a compact form. With a size that small, and features of both devices mixed in this device, there are endless possibilities of use. For example, you can read your books without carrying their weights. You can watch videos while travelling, and listen to music. If we think about the early nineties, at that point even the inter-net was a twinkle in Tim Berners-Lee’s eyes.

2. On the go–  Back in the old days, the only way one could learn, was through books and by attending classes. You weren’t guaranteed a good education even if you went to an expensive college. But now, everything has changed. One doesn’t need to go to a classroom to learn, or carry heavy books with them. They can do so much more from their tablet. Lot of universities have started to post videos of their lectures online, and there are certain initiatives like Coursera and Udacity, where they teach you online via videos and interactive editors. They also give out assignments to reinforce what they’ve taught you. Here, we’d also like to add ourselves to the list of these great initiatives, with the same goal of spreading education high and low.


 3. Time Independence – Another big advantage of this is that you can do so at any given time of the
day. No longer are students with low household incomes deprived of sleep while they study and work a job, because they don’t have to commute long distance to get to a classroom, it’s right there in their hand. So they can manage their day to day lives better while still getting an education that doesn’t compromise on quality or time.

 4. Bridges gaps – Here’s another one—well, to make this point stand out more, we will quote an example. Let us imagine a scenario, where students are in a rural village, and they don’t have places for education. What do they do? The tablet solves this dilemma easily. We are pretty sure no educator would want to miss out on teaching budding engineers, scientists of tomorrow, and they won’t even have to leave their place of residency to do so. They can interact using the tablet. Win-win for everyone involved.
We’d like to part with a simple note—Software. Hardware. The human mind. All coming together to make something better of our tomorrows.
