High tech

[ffutures]

Just glanced into one of the labs to see one of the science teachers using an interactive whiteboard (cost £800), AV projector (about £1100), installation (£500-ish), sound system (£150-ish) and computer (£400-ish) to simulate... a blackboard. Black background, white scrawled text, etc.

OK, yes, I know you can use it for other things, but it seemed very silly somehow.

The ones we have at work are only two "boards" wide. Hang on. Panasonic KX-B530.

That looks a lot nicer than the ones I remember, but those were definitely four boards wide. I suspect that the Panasonic ones actually work properly, not sure that was true of the ones we were selling.
