Yeah, I would have loved to have one notebook/laptop instead of 6 heavy books and have to waste time going to my locker to change them out so I didn’t carry all of them at once. Also would be easier to take notes

first of all, everyone needing their own, individual copies of a textbook was bullshit pushed by the textbook publishers to make sales. They could just be in the classrooms and shared between classes and replaced as necessary.
second, taking notes on a laptop/tablet would have been awesome, too. and being able to use the internet for research while in high school? also would have been great, and was in college– although… the internet back then was also a much more straightforward academic resource and not the toilet it is today, along with instructors who actually gave me pretty good advice on how to use it. Nowadays, there would need to be an entire class on how to use the Internet for research purposes while steering clear of the turdbergs of mis/disinformation out there.
