Reality TV programs have become more popular in recent years. While they are similar to scripted television programs in that they are intended to entertain a specific audience, they are also quite different in several ways. In a scripted television program, professional actors perform lines from a script that has been written by a professional writer. When the program begins filming, all of the participants know what the expected outcome is. Reality TV, on the other hand, is filled with unknowns. Most of the performers are amateurs, and they do not use scripts. Rather, they are presented with situations, and their reactions and behaviors are filmed. After filming, editors piece together different parts of the film to create a story.

In many schools, traditional textbooks are being replaced by tablet computers that hold e-copies of all materials necessary for all classes. So far, the effect of this change has been positive. Students no longer have to carry heavy books back and forth from home or between classes. And, as long as they have their tablets, they always have all of the materials needed to complete an assignment. Finally, it is much easier to update e-books, and adding new information is very inexpensive.
