Pros:  How much you pay for an E- readers up front is supposed to recoup expense by paying less over time for the textbooks in paper form. Cons:  Certain aspects of this approach that may be more costly than initially estimated.

 I think that E- readers are a good investment. Even though they do cost more in the beginning, in the long run they will add up to the same thing or they might even end up saving money.

Pros:  An easy to use tool across the world  Easier to connect and share ideas with others Cons:  One of the major complainants is that it relies on full connection  Most video conferencing cannot have more then 2 users

 I think video conferencing can be a good and bad thing. Even though video conferencing relies on full connection, it is very useful when able to use it. People can communicate with each other face to face even if they are on the other side of the world.

Pros:  Lab software can be an excellent way to provide basic training in lab procedure, or even illustrate concepts beyond the textbook Cons:  When it comes to actually culturing bacteria or performing a dissection, the screen is an incomplete substitute

 I agree with the cons on virtual lab training software. I believe that it is better to do hands on work rather then doing it on the computer. I think students learn more by actually doing it and not just seeing it on a computer screen.
