Allison J Landwehr
In recent years, technological progress has flourished and engulfed American society. The landscape of our nation is rapidly changing due to scientific advancement, and it is only logical that our educational scheme will soon follow suit integrating newfound technological developments. In particular, this paper will focus on a lawsuit involving Amazon.com’s (“Amazon”) Kindle Reader (“Kindle”) and its application in a pilot program at Arizona State University (“ASU”). This paper will be divided into seven sections and will center on the following: I. Introduction; II. Integration of Technology within America’s Educational Paradigm; III. Amazon’s Kindle Reader; IV. Amazon’s Kindle Pilot Program within American Universities; V. Legal Issues Concerning the Application of Amazon’s Kindle Reader at ASU; VI. Lawsuit against ASU by the National Federation of the Blind (“NFB”) and the American Council of the Blind (“ACB”); and VII. Concluding Remarks.
