I’m MalteI’m in Year 11I’ve been using tablets since they were introduced at school in 2008Recently, I've been wondering - why do I use tablets?So I did an experiment
Limit: Can’t share notes with friends, grab information of the internet, view videos, etc.Loose paper -> throw away
15kg~4000 sheetsAlmost fill the area of the room
Doing my mathematics work on paper / in exercise books, was messy and confusing, making it difficult to learn from notes, and previous mistakes.

Forgot the other books at home…When I go to school, the only thing that I need to remember is my tablet (no printing, paper, essays, etc.)When I’m at school all I need is my tabletWhen I walk home from school all I need to carry is my tablet - comfortably
So why do I use a Tablet PC? Because it helps me to learn.
