Breadcrumbs or a breadcrumb trail is a navigation aid used in user interfaces. It gives users a way to keep track of their locations within programs or documents. The term comes from the trail of breadcrumbs left by Hansel and Gretel in the popular fairytale.

A library without any books?

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

While I think that all schools who embrace technology are awesome, there’s something about a library without any books that doesn’t feel right to me.

Cushing Academy, a prep school in Boston, has decided to give nearly all of their books away to local schools. According to engadget, the school is replacing the library with “a high tech ‘learning center’, housing three flat screen televisions, laptops, 18 e-readers, and a coffee bar”.

Hmm…

What happens if more than 18 kids show up to read?
