Korea leaves paper to the history and goes to Gadgets

The South Korean government announced that it plans to spend more than two two billion dollars for the development of electronic books, which are planned to be a replacement for paper-based information to all schools by the year 2015. Pupils and students will have access to electronic learning stuff, store online in the cloud storage, in addition to multimedia learning material on a Tablet PC. This training system will be especially handy to students studying from home. Of course, physical education or fine arts will not be replaced, but it will be possible to learn away from school. New government's program offers significant benefits for the school system, a complete abandonment of paper information carriers in favor of Tablet PCs in schools and institutions of higher learning must be complete by 2015.
