The plight of school goers is pathetic without a doubt. Having myself been a victim of the system, I can vouchsafe for the kind of drudgery that children undertake in the name of backpacks. Laden with books, notebooks and all the paraphernalia that proper education necessitates, schoolbags are pain, quite literally. That’s why an IIT educated designer has designed sChOOlpack, which is a modern replacement for this ancient way of hauling stuff. sChOOl pack is designed by Prashant Chandra and is actually a PC masquerading as a backpack. This light replacement for books and notebooks is targeted at teenagers and young college goers, in particular. A regular touch pad takes care of noting down stuff and an LCD display is equally adept at presenting the bookish facts.

sChOOlpack is actually quite good at replacing all the different books. It basically has five separate hard drives (each one for a different subject) and one of these would dock as soon as the period for that subject begins. When not in use, these would form a part of the overall package and slot into accompanying holders.

A capacity of 15-20 GB and a possibility to borrow from friends – much in the fashion of real notebooks – will characterize the hard drives. Buttons will be provided on display as well as the pad for essential operations like turning pages and erasing stuff. To make sure that a student does not take undue advantage of technology, copy and paste operations are strictly forbidden.

Also additional features like MP3 support, recorder and like could be integrated into this PC. The advantages of this concept are quite apparent; freedom from purchasing stationary and books time and again for one, and ease in the back pain of students for another. Produce this on a mass scale and parents will definitely get on board.
