Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than
the other, and paining (疼痛) too. In India, most of us would look at the reduction (减少) of textbooks as
a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called go Reader has
created a "school bag" which is the size of a laptop computer (笔记本电脑), weighing about 2.5 kg. The
go Reader has a color screen and can"hold" all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in "The
Asian Age" newspaper.
     The company plans to work closely with the publishers (出版商) of textbooks so that these books can
be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is to download (下载) their textbooks. Making
notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their
textbooks before.
     At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of the company
is having his creation tested at Chicago's DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is
goodbye to the new paper, and the smell of the black ink?
