Laptops: Good or Bad?

Today there is an article about "Generation Multitask" on the front page of the Omaha World Herald. I can definitely relate to this because half the time when I'm trying to do homework, I also have the TV on or I'm listening to music. On the topic of laptops: I think that they can be a big distraction but for the kids that actually use them the right way, they are a good learning tool.
