: In the "Letters to the Editor " section of a newspaper , you read the following letter/2

, Dear Editor
I recently went back to my old schhol and noticed that things had not changed much since I was there over
. 30 years ago.Pupils were sitting at the same old desks , using the same books
Why is it that no one in our education system seems to realize that books are a thing of the past ?Textbooks
should be replaced by computer based communication:video conferencing , chat rooms , instant messaging and
.Electronic forums to get children used to their future working
Today's children are unlikely to open a book after they leave school .When are our schools going to wake up
? to the fact that the world has changed

Emily Davies
