Should Textbooks Still Exist?

I think this was a very beneficial discussion to have in class today. I believe this to be one of the most controversial issues for college students today, because I myself have actually pondered this idea not only about textbooks, but a college degree in general. We live in a generation of the cell phone's and all electronics for that matter. There is ten times the amount of eBooks online available then there was five years ago. With that being said, more kids are purchasing eBooks and just pulling them up on their tablets at school, then actually purchasing a hard copy in the bookstore. Same with turning in assignments, I have a lot more teachers telling us to upload our assignments via online, then actually turning in a hard copy, just because that is what the world is going to now-a-days. A Electronic World. You definitely can argue both sides still, it is a debatable issue, but I think in ten years, there will be no debate left to argue..
