I'll or will.

I'm looking for specific examples of will that would change he meaning if replaced by 'll. I know we can't use them in short form answers. This is more of a semantics/lexical question than grammar.

I will do my homework tonight. / I'll do my homework tonight.

I will get to school on time today.

Without knowledge action is useless and knowledge without action is futile.
