Are tablets the first step toward mobile or non-existent classrooms?

Tablet computers in schools might eventually transform our classrooms into empty shells. Is this a good thing? And who is it good for? Teachers? Students? Parents? I’m not sure. As a former student from primary, secondary, college, and graduate school, I’m just not sure. It’s possible that within ten year’s time, traditional classrooms will only exist for special needs children. I have mixed feelings on having mainstream students work entirely or mostly remote from other students and teachers. It’s a tradeoff that I believe that we need to consider seriously before making the evolutionary leap from classroom to living room.
