I am in a dubious position.

I think learning "automata/machines, process control/programming and design" is good.

(Computer tablets can be "media" for learning -- if we have "teachers" that can use them as "object for learning".)

I also think "playing" is important/essential for "good body, good (human) relationships and good problem solving" -- if we have "teachers" who can play "good, clean and fun" games.

But what about a possible use of tablets for making/playing new "physical+mental" games?

(Games can be used to drive people/children into their future career -- in technology.)

Another worry is "replacement cost": parents will have to find extra money for tablets for their school children in one way or another -- because of theft, damage, upgrade, apps,...
