The author's purpose is to inform the reader. The Author's main idea of the article is to state that school items in the classroom are evolving. The article itself stated "classroom technologies and devices have evolved." I agree with the idea of taking notes with laptops to save time and bulky space. Also, it keeps information on a cloud which will never be lost. I don't agree with the fact that school education be fully revolved around technology.
The article applies to me in a way that makes me think of how my school is compared to others. My schools resources are not or yet to be changing. Seventy percent of schools are evolving their classrooms with technologies while my school is not.
