...sixth-grader settles down to tackle her homework on a weekday afternoon in 2004. Instead of hunching over the kitchen table with a three-ring binder, she's sitting on the bus with her laptop. She logs on to the Internet to take a math-skills test on the school home page and get her own personalized assignment, downloads the software she'll need, seeks help from an online school librarian and e-mails the finished work to her teacher.

Who knows, we could have all been sipping moon margaritas by now -- on the rocks, of course...
