1. The document discusses how technology is changing education, with tablets becoming more prevalent in schools and expected to outnumber computers within 5 years. 2. BYOT/BYOD initiatives are becoming more common, allowing students to use their own devices in school, though this challenges standardization. 3. The concept of a "post-digital school" is introduced, where ubiquitous technology access transforms life, work and learning rather than being a novelty. This requires rethinking policies around device use.

Bullet trains were first introduced in Japan in 1964 and can travel at speeds over 130 miles per hour, providing a fast and safe way to connect cities. They operate extensively on the island of Honshu, connecting Tokyo to other cities and islands. Drivers control bullet trains but an Automatic Train Control system regulates speeds, which is important considering trains may reach 200 kilometers per hour. The interior of newer bullet train models features rows of 2 and 3 seats facing each other down the length of the long trains.
