Did you even watch the video??
No.
It shows teachers watching what the kids have done, everybody has access to the same material and they don't need pen and paper.
I still fail to see an advantage. Everybody already has access to the same materials, and teachers can already see what you're doing. And no, they don't need pen & paper, just like I don't need an iPad. That isn't an implicit advantage.
Not only is it lowering the need for stationary but also books and tons of paper, the tablets are an all in 1.
You're substituting one use of resources for another. The tablets save on paper, but they use more of other materials, not to mention electricity. Also not to mention they're still no good for writing on in a maths class.
I imagine you can use a pen and paper if you want but if we stick with the pen and paper then whats the point of trying to find alternatives.
There's no point in either changing or staying as you are for the sake of it. I already said, I'll support a change when there's a superior alternative. Right now, there isn't one.
And with that mind set of "if it works why fix it?" we won't get anywhere. Think about it Pencils and pens have been around so long because nothing has been able to replace them, now something has come along and now its time to replace them.
No, something has not come along, for the reasons I've stated above.
