Wonderful Technology

Not to state the obvious but technology is developing every day. Case in point: I have had my Nook color since March 2011. In those few months, it has gone from being exclusively an e-reader to now being everything from a game system to a "netbook." Just last night, I wrote my own story using a new app "Tikatok" on my Nook color. It is a free app and easy to use.
After I created my story, I searched the Internet for ebooks relating to my profession as an educator. I found Eye on Education had over 100 ebook titles.
I then checked my email on yahoo from my Nook and finally wound down for the evening by playing Uno, solitaire and Unblock me. All of those activities in the palm of my hands.
I can only imagine what my Nook color will be able to do by December. My hope is maybe I will be able to watch Netflix or Hulutv.
What more could a girl ask for?

It won't be long before a high school or college student has all of his textbooks on an e-reader.

If your brave and don't mind voiding your Nook's warranty, you or Lavoy can turn your Nook olor into a fully functional Android tablet (including Netflix) right now:
